Model Airplanes = Long life
From my observations modelers as a whole seem to live longer. What's your observation?

Thank God. Maybe it will offset the affects of being married

Re: Model Airplanes = Long life
My Grandma made it to 96; I'm sitting on 54.

If I even come close to what she's done, I've still got about 40 more years of airplanes to build. That's if I don't freeze first.

In 40 years, I'm going to post a picture of my collective building efforts. By then, they should have invented a bid enough piece of photo paper.

Re: Model Airplanes = Long life
Must be due to all that blood pumping during those maiden flights.. Not sure, what about all those glue paint and dope fumes. Oh and balsa dust is apparently not good either.:neutral:

Re: Model Airplanes = Long life
You must be right RC Man - just look at any photo of a group of modellers these days! Same modellers as in that old photo nearly fifty years ago! Oh well!
