At what age,,,, Does a model become a " Classic " or a " Vintage " Model....? Over the years I've either owned or flown just about every class & type of model including Trainers, Scale, Sports Scale, Aerobatic, Sports Aerobatic, Vintage model such as junior 60 etc Slope Soaring & Thermal Gliders.... a coupe of flights on jets and even Control Line which I must admit made me as sick as a pig..lol And whether they be powered by Glow Diesl or Petrol... So a varied range & type of flying in me Rc Flying Life...... This time round since coming back into the hobby just over a year ago after a 6 year break due to health reasons lookinmg at the models I now have in my collection,, Now I'm not saying I'm getting old... well I hope I'm not ... not yet I hope seeing as I'm only ( almost ) 51,,,, and also since coming back to the hobby my I find my flying style has changed from the mad capped fly it like you stole it style to a more relaxed and gentle style of flying.... Looking at my Model Room.... apart from the Ruckus & Turbo Timber ,,, It seems this time round in the hobby,, & forgive the use of the term,, I seem to be putting together over the past year ,,, A more " Old Timers Collection " of models,,,, So that got me thinking ,,,,,, Currently in my collection... Listed in the Category I feel them to be in....:- Vintage - ( Pre 1970's ) Ben Buckle Scorpion Ben Buckle Junior 60 Ben Buckle Super 60 Classic - ( 1970's, 80's / 90's ) Avicraft/Perkins Panic 2x 7.5PG Diesel Gliders 2x Waterhouse & Eley Superfly DB Centurion Hirobo Shuttle ( Plus 2 ) TT Raptor 30 Modern - Within last 10 years E-Flite Turbo Timber Max Thrust Ruckus So the Question Is...... "" At what age does a model become a Classic or a Vitage .....? ""

Cudnt agree more...... When it's a matter of safety theres no 2 ways about it.. ALL Members follow the rules or anyone that doesnt or wont follow the rules then they don't fly... It really is that simple

Point out to them they MUST obey and follow the Culbs Rules no matter what they feel or want which like many clubs they agree to when joining a club and they cannot break them all becauxse they disagree with the comittee & other members........ I've seen this happen in a few clubs even to the point the committe/club had no other choice but to refuse further membership to those relelious ones when it came rounf to Memeber ship Renewal at the end of the year and in worse cases a few were dismissed instantly

Also I was a member of a club that shared land with an airsoft club and a clay pidgeon shooting club and the clubs Rules was no flying umtill the other 2 clubs had finished at 2pm.. & all memebrs had to obey that rule and NO exception were ever made or permitted if they broke the rules they wud receive 2 official warnings 1 verbal 1 written then subsequent club dismissal

If the clus rules are NO FLYING while karting is going on then thats the club rules and members should adhere to the rules at all times and they cannot or shud I say should not feel they have the right to ignore them as they see fit,,, Nor can they over rule the committee..... What they can do is ask for the rules to be chaged either at the AGM at the end of the club year or ask for an EGM to be called which it will then be put to a club vote which if the club as a whole decide to keep the rules as they are including any/all no flying at stated times then the rebelious members basicly have 2 choices,,,, Accept the club rules as they are and follow them or go find another club or failing that face the the consiquences of breaking the rules and being kicked out the club specially when it comes to the safety of others A blunt answer im sure but a correct one i feel
