Well we just had one member terminate up his solo flying at 82 - after
some introspection relating to a minor accident where he failed to
handle all the very complicated stuff going on.

So I know of at least one going Solo for the first time at 83 - and some
- like this pilot deciding that a complex, high performance self
launcher with all the bells and whistles is not a good idea at 80+.

Depends on the person, and the complexity I suppose.

Fun is what you make it. - it does not have to be in a competition
single seater.

Well, OK 73 may be too old.
