Default Hello from southern california

Hi My name is Quinn Walton and I'm 16 years old living in Santa Barbara CA. I've been flying for about a year and a half now and I'm begining to fly 3D. My dad and I both fly and he is the one who got me into this crazy hobby. I just recently found out about this site and spend most of my time lurking on rc groups.
I fly mostly 40 size planes and smaller electrics though I'm hoping to move up to a 25% or so plane in september. As I mentioned I'm starting to work on 3d and I can hover fairly well and the other stuff is starting to come slowly.

Hey Quinn,

Great to have you here!!

Remember, you don't have to fly giant scale to be a Flying Giant!!
It's more about Giant Style than giant scale. You take what you have, fly it hard, try new things and have fun!! That's all there is to it!!

Browse around the forums, you'll see what I mean, we have everything from small electrics to Giant Scale Monsters!!! We even have a heli site launching this weekend.

Welcome to the Giants!!!
