Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: A starting point

Alan, it's never too late to start. I didn't start flying until age 40 (mid-life crisis), and now have been flying for over 26 years. I started flying R/C models and it progressed to ordering a Kolb Firestar kit in 1986. I had never built anything before, except airplane models, so it was a challenge. Needless to say, that Firestar kit has been flying all this time. Five years ago I bought a Kolb Kolbra. I'm the guy that produced the "Rushford fly-in" video. I went and got my Sport license to fly it and it has been a dream come true. I absolutely love flying especially when I can share it with friends and family. My advice is to pursue your dream and you will never regret it.
