For me, I've had a love for aviation since I was a kid. I loved building the military model airplanes and adding all the little details to make them look as real as possible for being a model. I wanted to fly RC planes, but at the time, it was too expensive. But I still kept my bedroom filled with various model airplanes that I had built.

Fast forward almost 25 years, my wife and I were walking around the lake by our local RC field, and we could see and hear them buzzing over our heads. My wife was as curious as I was to see where they were flying the planes from, and upon finding the field, I started to get those goose pimples up my back with excitment watching these planes fly by. It happened to be training night, and as luck would have it, one of the instructors came up and offered me a chance on the sticks....... been hooked ever since. My wife has been very supportive of my "habit" and has even become interested enough to begin learning how to fly Heli's........

My love of model aviation has been a lifelong enjoyment, and one that I'm hoping will be with me for a very very long time.
