If I did ask my dad for a spitfire, he'd probably do it, not buy it.

Status: offline 		I am 19 is that young enough? Been flying off and on since i was 13. I have a 3 year old nephew that is infactuated with airplanes (as am i) because of me, and I am planning on getting him a trainer as soon as he is old enough. Anyone know what the youngest age a kid can learn is? He loves to watch me fly all the time! Its great to share this wonderful hobby with someone! I have continued my love for aircraft into a profession. By the end of january I will be a certified Airframe and Powerplant mechanic for real planes and hope to work on Corporate or commercial aircraft. Hopefully I will make enough $$$$ to feed my obsession with these little planes.!

my hangar:

H9 Funtana
GP super sportster .40

Futaba 6xas radio.

FLY IT TIL THE WINGS COME OFF!


A few months ago, my father and I and a few other guys were at the local flying "Field", its actually a church, anyway, he was flying his 20year old bipe and their were a few other guys in the air. Well him and another guy decided to play a little game called chicken. as the got about 20 feet from eachother, nose to nose, they both decided to pull up really hard, now the bipe has ailerons on only the bottom wing, anyway, when he pulled vertical, the lower wing mount broke and the wing was holding on by just the servo wire. Well lets just say a treee reached way up and grabbed his plane. It's all better now that he did a lot of wood work and re-koted it.
