I'm so old I remember when we had RC planes.

Don't we still have those???

Yes. I took a photo of a scale model of AF1 some years back in flight. A grumpy old soul saw it and went into a cursing tirade about who ever was the president at that time. Must have been a really good job of detailing the plane.

I learned on a manual transmission myself. I avoided automatics like the plague. But when I got into my 60's I thought that perhaps my reflexes were not as fast and finally got an automatic. But I am a 2 footed driver, using one foot for the brakes. The left foot lost its job. LOL

In the '60s I went from 3 on the tree to 4 on the floor, decade of the "MUSCLE" cars, by the late '70s my left leg was getting tired. Truck was still stick 4 WD for work but the car was automatic. Today everything is automatic. Two things I do miss are the high beam switch on the floor and those small wing windows that funneled 50 MPH air conditioning.

And the air vent on the floor. Hot summer day, 55-60 mph breeze on your feet... ah, bliss!

They're still around.

Of course, I fly the next step up from them: a camera drone.

I thought you meant Roman Catholic at first…

A remote control plane is a thing of beauty, particularly if it’s a model of the old planes, and a drone - camera carrying or not - is far beneath it!

I remember when they had planes on a string with little fuel powered motors.
You'd fire them up then hold the end of the string and let them fly around you in a circle.
Pity the fool sibling that walked into their line of flight.

Can't forget the 5 cent punch out Balsa in cellophane, throw them hard and loop around and smack ya right in the face.
