I'd say 18 with 42 years of r/c experience, cause this hobby brings out the kid in everyone. Thats why I love it and other reasons.
 
Happy Birthday Rolex. Time to get the hover round out and go for a spin.
 
Great, now I have to come out swinging. MOST of you are BANNED. Do you HEAR me? Banned, banned.

I started when I was 15 but back then you had to get on your hands and knees and push the rock around by hand while making vroom, vroom sounds with your lips. No one really knows who started that sound since nothing made it back then.
As the hobby progressed someone thought of tying a vine to the rock and now we could pull it around while walking upright. Walking upright was also something new back then.
On the bright side, there were dirt tracks EVERYWHERE! After a few runs in the dirt I discovered a tree whose sap really made my rock shiny. Soon all the other grunting fools started giving me a hard time about my constant polishing, so I took it upon myself to start whacking them upside the head with a ban club.

Awesome story, isn't it? I won't be polishing the Bling Thing or any of the helis today, but I'm counting on someone else waxing my rocket after dinner. :whhooo::naughty::D:rolex:

Too funny, Rolex! I think I'm going to have a heart attack: Rolex isn't going to polish his Savage!
 
Awesome story Rolex, good luck getting your rocket off the ground!

Is that when you came up with the "you can't polish a turd" idea, or have you beaten that one?
 
Man I love getting help waxing my rocket on my birthday, the distance it travels in the end is just jaw dropping. :hehe:
 
polishing a turd has been confirmed by Mythbusters. Dyno turds would sometimes take days to bring out a gleam. We didn't have rags yet, so spit shining without using our fingers was not very enjoyable.
