And the Geezer Award goes to :
I got into tether cars in the mid 1950's, then control line & free flight planes (plus a weird one-man .049 hovercraft). In 1958 I bought a [roughly] 26" plastic mono with an all-metal .049 outboard motor. Living on a small island in N.Y., I'd go out in my friend's Lyman runabout, crank up the .049 & let 'the cute little craft bounce around the bay with a mind of its own. Then slot cars. Motorcycles crept in by the late 1950's & I still ride my 10'8" long '66 Shovel-Pan chopper "Black Sunshine". As a liveaboard from 1990 'till 2005, I wanted to go FE but the [now] ex-wiffe said: "No, No". A week after she split in 2004 {I still miss her, 'tho my aim's improving}, I got my first scale rtr boat. Then 2 more rtr's, then..well you know the rest ...
