I'm Nick Radle. I'm the guy that delivered that 50%(Was it the Edge or the Extra?) to you in Yuma while I was on my way to California - small world!
I have been flying since I was around 11 or 12, so like 22-23 years. Taught myself to fly, starting with a Gentle lady glider, then added a power pod to it, then went to slope soarers, then to 4-ch powered airplanes. First powered plane was an EZ Sportsman 25H.
I am a stick mode 4 flier, and the reason is because I taught myself how to fly and just put controls where I thought they should go.
I am an aircraft mechanic by trade and I like it, especially the flight benefits.
Just got into IMAC last year and am really enjoying it. Started in Intermediate and qualified for the Shootout, where I took 5th place - 1st thru 4th place pilots were all less than half my age! Dang kids  Now I am in advanced and just finally got my first 1st place finish, and it felt good. |
