I consider Colton and Gaby to be 2 of the best pilots in the RC world these days...

With that said, a lot of sponsored pilots that "make it", get big heads. They come out and do a demo flight and then run off and hide... Too good to hang out with the common folk or too good to answer the "howja do that" questions...

Colton, you are an EXTREMELY good pilot... Yet you are down to earth and fun to hang out with. Every event that I've been to, you've always had a good time and it shows that you enjoy what you are doing. You are one of the guys... You just have better thumbs!

Your sponsors should be proud of the face that you put on the company/products... You're flying skills definitely represent the products well, but it's your humble down to earth attitude that puts you over the top!!

You can write your own ticket!!!

I am glad to see Colton get the recognition he deserves! We have had more motivation to learn 3D since Colton started hanging out at our field. I think he could 3D a bulldozer if it had a prop on it. And land it in a dead stick just as good! He has a feel for the airplanes that is unbelievable. Colton, you deserve all of the attention my friend!

colton has some wicked flying skills.Spotted and done video of some bad azz flights he has done In the past couple of years.Awsome flying colton and gabi!If you want to see more from colton go to youtube and watch some of his flying posted there.

I AM NOT SURE THIS IS "3D" ANY MORE. WE NEED TO START REFERING TO THE NEW FLYING STYLE AS 3D EXTREME. 3D HAS A BAD RAP FOR BEING LOW AND SLOW. THE NEW MOVEMENT SEEMS TO BE LOW, FAST AND BAD ASS SMOOTH. JUST MY THOUGHTS.

lol i think 3d in general has gotten a bad rep no matter what you put in front of it... I love the low and fast stuff and Gabby and colton makes it look great! Just hope the planes dont break at the wrong time! Wish I could have seen this in person cause I bet the video does nothing!

No doubt, I have been trying to step my meager flying up too. Nall was motivation in itself to get out and fly more

And I have to say, both of these guys were a pleasure to talk to. No egos with them - or they just hid them really well...

I spend quite a bit of time with both, and I never saw the shadow of inflated ego...
so either they have none, or they left it at home!
They are both great ambassadors for the passion we share, and are good example of us all to follow in their flying abilities as well as in their humble attitude.

I have uploaded one last video of Colton flying the Extra: note the one wheel touch-and-go at the end...

Clton Is a standup guy.I dont know gabi but from what I have heard and seen he of him he seems real modest.It shows that they both have put a lot of time and effort Into their flying.
