If 50 is the new 30 and 70 the new 50 you have time to build a whole squadron - go for it. But remember to follow the latest government scold's advice and stop smoking, exercise daily and if you drink do so in moderation - there was a fourth but I can't remember it - possibly due to not heeding the others  |

Plenty of time!
I am 64 (will be 65 in a few weeks) and have also started a 9QB this past September, my riveting partner is going on 78 and contemplating a 12!

Hey Ray,
Don't be a would-a-could-a-should have.
From the 5-6 pages of responses.
That should tell you, "Go for it!"

I'm a punk! but my Dad is not.
My Dad is 76, he has been building a Skyote from scratch since 1984.
Its almost ready to cover,
Never give up, Never surrender!
Victory only comes after a struggle!
Build or by, but whatever, FLY.
Best wishes.

If you hustle and build
in three years you will be 64 and flying a RV.
If not you will be 64.

Good Gosh Tom!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when he started that. It was just after I retired from the USAF!!!!!!!!Does that mean I'm too old to fly now??????(Maybe I just smell that way!)
Tell the old man I said Hi!
