“I have been an aviation mechanic for 36 years. My interest in aviation began as a child, building and flying model airplanes, initially rubber band powered, then glow control line, and eventually RC. If not for model aviation, and the desire/ability to fly my models, my interest in an aviation career would likely not have been realized. As the old saying goes, if you want less of something, tax and regulate it. Government intrusion into aero modeling is not the proper course.”
