When I was a young boy of 9 years old I got my first model plane (which was a balsa wood and tissue paper kit set) with a gas engine and control lines. I used to fly this plane in my street and at the school for almost a year. I moved cities and could

I’ve been involved in radio control models in some way since I could hold a remote. My experience was entirely self taught in the beginning as my family had no knowledge of aviation, UAS, or radio control.

I researched UAV mapping online then built a mapping drone using a 450mm diameter frame, pixhawk autopilot, and a cheap action camera. This was my

I’m a first responder by trade. I initially started flying RC, because I’ve always been intrigued by aeronautics. I’ve never been able to afford the training required to obtain a pilot certification for manned aircraft, so flying model aircraft caught my fancy quite easily. Aeromodeling was always just a good recreational hobby. However, after being

First of all it’s part of my livelihood, but more important than that is my family. I have children under the age of 13 and these new rules would ground them. They are really good pilots and I trust them with any of my airframes. Of course we always fly together! This has lit a
