My parents are great, I couldn't ask more from them. When I first started flying I worked all summer and bought a H9 Arrow trainer, its still one of my favorite planes. My mom and dad would take me to the feild every weekend and now let me dive there every weekend. All the older men at my club said I was really good and a fast learner, but said I needed to see kyle fly. One day I was flying my 2nd plane, a H9 twist, when a kid pulled up with a plane I thought you could ride in. I was amazed at what he could do with his carden. I talked to him and found out about IMAC. He said that I should come to contest to see what it was all about.
I went with my dad and I was shocked to see so many big planes, I was hooked. I got to talk to all the pilots and found out why they all enjoy the hobby so much. I took tons of photos, since that was I also enjoy to do, of the freestyle and did some after hours fun. The next year I knew I had to do IMAC, I looked and looked for months trying to find the perfect plane. I found one, it was a KMP yak 54. I was all I wanted, not too big, cost only $1200, and was local. My parents bought the plane for me 100%. I did well with IMAC last year with my yak and even won a few contests. Both of my parents work alot(too much if you ask me) and I would be excited for an upcoming contest, not just for the flying, but for the long drives and the hours we would be together looking at the countryside as we traveled down the interstate.
This year I'm 100% focused on the IMAC flying. I found out that the IMAC plane to have is the carden 40% 330s. Thats what I'm shooting for baby! I am going to fly advance this year with that plane. Now thats a lotta green stuff for one of those. So my parents said they'll do a 50/50 for me. So I'm looking of a job and to get the cash before the season starts.
This is a great hobby, and for some, we make it into our sport, our lifestyle. It's something that brings us all together, and charish till we are no more.
