“I was interested in RC when I was 8 1973, I built my very first rc plane by myself with no assistance from the internet or local lobbyist’s. It kindled a love of aviation and as a direct result I enlisted in the Navy and became a Naval Aircrewman. After leaving the Navy I paid for my private pilots certification and aircraft mechanics certification. I have helped well over 100 people get started in model aviation by either instruction or by donating equipment to help feed their interests.”
