“I started flying when I was very young. My Grandpa was a Hang glider pilot and eventually switch over to a Grob and Cessna once my dad was born. My Father then getting an Ultralight and now building his own Zenith 750. Both of them passed their love of flying to me. My first rc aircraft was a Thunder Tiger Trainer with a OS60 gas glow engine. I was only 6 and I fell in love. Fast forward 15 years and I’m now the owner of that same Tiger (now trying to get it electric converted) and a myriad of plane types. I’ve been Warbird dogfighting in my backyard with my E-flite P-47 and slope soaring on lake Michigan with the FT Radian. Flying for me is an escape. I’m definitely young, but it’s gotten me through alot of struggles in my life and I don’t want to let that get taken away. I’ve heard alot about the proposal over the last few months both from the channel and friends. I’m afraid of what this will do to destroy the hobby I love.”
