I have always loved aviation and started flying RC because it was what I could afford. RC gives me the chance to be a pilot at a cost that is not excessive. RC often becomes the gateway to full scale piloting for many and that was always a dream I never thought could happen. Because

Model Planes are part of my family identity, please help us to preserve it. My family has been involved in Model making and Flying Since the 1930s. It’s a family tradition that extends from my grandparents, my uncles and now I want to preserve to my extended family. As far i can remember, my uncles
