I have been around aviation since I can remember. A real aviation family. My father was a pilot, some of my earliest memories are sittting on his lap in our Cessna 172 flying over our house in Chicago. I build my first model when I was 4 or 5 (my mom almost killed my dad when she found me holding a razor blade!!! never cut myself until later in life). My first model was a Great PLanes Trainer 40, with an OS Max 40, Futaba Gold transmitter. Loved that plane. Gradually moved up to the Tiger II, Super Sportster 120 and the Goldberg Sukoi. I got out of RC flying after high school and through college and medical school. I came back to the hobby through the needed outlet from surgical life and found this new style of 3D!!! WOW. I jumped right back into the hobby with a Great PLanes Cap580 Matt Chapman and YS63. THen I realized I wanted to go big. Extreme FLight RC became my gateway. Got the 74" yak the 88" yak (these have returned to the balsa gods). Getting into IMAC and trying to get competitive. Having moved to Texas has increased my flying time so much... Time to burn some gas!!!!Thanks DAD for all the years of flying!!!
