WOW how time flies... !

I was just getting ready for TG 2012 and came across these photos of my son Ricky (Ricardo) from many years ago. I guess sometimes we just have to say " thanks " for the time this hobby of ours lets us have together... Out of my three boys, Ricky is the only one that took after my passion for radio control. I most definitely do other things with Guillermo, the oldest, and Antonio the younger one.

The photos just reminded me of great times at our field in Puerto Rico, Borinquen RC Model club (www.borinquenrc.net). Ricky will be flying a Skyrader in ProAmSport this year.

My name is Frankie Mirandes and I am the PROUD PAPA.

This hobby is about sharing our experiences and our passion with other people. At the end of our days, we are not taking anything with us. Not even a servo… So let’s go out there and make a difference… TELL SOMEONE ABOUT RADIO CONTROL, TEACH SOMEONE TO FLY.

I will like to challenge you to go out there find a trainer plane and teach a kit how to fly rc. It is the future of our hobby. It is a great feeling seeing the smile of a new pilot when he or she can finally complete a solo flight. That is what is all about. Make a difference in someone’s life.

who knows... you might me teaching someone that might end up at TOP GUN in the future.

Safe landings !

Frankie
