“I’ve been flying for over twenty years. The hobby was passed down from my father and I hope to pass it on to my children. Flying RC is what sparked my interest in aviation and is what got me interested in the aviation industry. Without model aviation I wouldn’t have pursued a career in aviation. It taught me a lot of skills over the years that I wouldn’t have learned in other hobbies. For American aviation to continue to advance and innovate, we must allow model aviation to continue as it has since it first began.”
