Wow!! Really amazing.. Wonder who's the oldest pilot in Sing? Used to know of one uncle flying at RMS.. 70+..wonder if he is still flying

Just my thoughts

The moral of the story is to make friend from all sort of age so that even though you are old, you still have other kakis to fly with you constantly. Do not just mix with the same age kakis. All of us will get old one day and we will need the young one to help us ( Same theory apply to workplace )
Flying is also about socializing and making all sort of people beside all the technical issues etc. If he is flying so long, he should have a lot of other friends also.

Nacar! Thanks for sharing the video. It is really touching and educational.

some of the scenario in these short videos are very familiar to some of us here in DH too....especially those who been through this path, such as teaching aeromodelling in school, flying with friend and kids...etc....
its a hobby one can stop at some point in life, pick it up somewhere later when things are more settled.
never too young or old to fly rc planes..

and every time we make a come back, the liking in this hobby grew stronger to some.

Keep up the good faith in this hobby bros!

Cheers!

Think that old man in the video stopped flying for 20 years before he goes back to flying again. In that 20 year time span, things change and people come and go in the hobby.

The thing is flying is just a hobby, and maybe one of many other hobbies, for most people. And when other things in life have more priority (like the restaurant owner in the video), some people will put aside flying. By the time you want to fly again, your kakis may not be around or in the hobby anymore.

But the good thing is that the people in this hobby are all nice and friendly people, it's just us making the first step and effort to join into the circle again (the old man in the video just need a push from external forces to join the circle of flyers again).

Applause to all friends and flyers in this RC hobby

Maybe he should start trying other RC hobby like scale boat ,sail boat or rock crawler, not so demanding on the eye and finger respond. Flight SIM not a bad choice too..
