The first time I saw RC back in 61 I was 6 years old....I have no idea what kind of radio they were using back then or airplanes flown......
The next time I had the chance to get into RC I was a young Marine going to AE-A school in Memphis, but my friend crashed his plane the day before I was going to go with him so no plane....
I visited a few fields over the years....but it wasn't until my wife got me a cheap firebird something that the bug got me hard...my next plane was an LT-40 I joined a club and learned to fly...the rest is history....
I have always been around aviation as a kid, in the Marine Corps, and as a civilian....I've been a flight crew member..and I still do Avionics work with my A&P certificate.....
I truely love to fly RC.....
