It gives me a reason to keep on living. One of the few things in my life that makes me happy.

I began my journey back when i was 13. I started with flitetest and their foam board f22 model plane. Had a blast building and flying it. The raw amount of information that i have learned from begining to present due to model aviation is immesureable. The community is one of the best in the

It gives me something to do. It’s important to me because it allows me to experience more of the world and have enjoyment, I love soaring in the sky and looking down on myself and seeing everything there is to offer from my humble abode. I don’t know what I’d do without that ability to

Since doing so I have experienced the benefits of building

Flying has taught me a lot about technology, aviation, filming/film editing, and collaboration. When I discovered FPV several years ago, it re-ignited a flame within me and since then I have learned a ton. It has also revitalized my own faith in technology and provided additional skills for my repertoire that I do use within

I was aircrew on C-130s for 8 years. I love flying! I build my own aircraft and intend to use FPV, in due time. I’m just getting started. There are enough expenses and challenges without adding inappropriate burdens. If any of these idea would ACTUALLY improve safety – but without %100 oversight, it’s simplistic to

Having built and flown kit model airplanes since age of 9 years, and having made decorations out of paper airplanes before that, I consider myself a competent pilot and have a life membership in AMA (L-143). I have served in local model clubs most of my adult life. I recently (last three or four years)
