Started flying u/c in 1953 with a ringmaster & veco 35. Started r/c in 1970 with a ugly stick kit & EK LOGIKTROL champion 6 channel. Helis in the 70's when the HELI-BABY was born. Have taken a couple of timeouts but have been both planes, nitro, gas, electric, and helis all my life. Love to scratch & kit build. I am now 65 and I am now flying turbines. Still work full time to pay for them. LOL Got up on the right side of the grass this morning so I think I will load up and GO FLYING!!!!!!!!
