Made my first "aaplane' at 2 yrs old from 2 crossed clothespins.
"Flew" it all over the house.
Attended first soaring Nationals on Harris Hill in '54 and flew in
kids model contest. I decided on the spot
that I would be a glider pilot some day.
Built and flew models from 5 yr or so till present. Competed in
control line, free flight, and indoor with Nats trophys
in all at one time or other.
Then RC soaring.
Out of college started gliding full size with Pat and Harriet in
Florida. Had to borrow a car because I spent my
money on gliding first.
Solo and private in '73.
Comm, CFI in '74
First contest '76
First Nationals '79
Obsessed the whole time.
More stories guys!
