Default Hello from Central IL

Hey gang-

I'm Donivan. I've been flying R/C since I was 10, and after about a 4 year hiatus, I'm back in it! I'm 23 now, and my last giant scale plane was a Cap 232 with a 3w60i. Now I am back to flying a trainer to re learn some skills, as well as a Carl Goldberg Extra 300. Currently on my bench I have a Hangar 9 Extra 260 (27%) powered by a DA 50-r, and a couple .40 sized fun flys (Sig Somethin' Extra and Global Raven Fun Fly). I belong to the Spoon River Flyers based out of Maquon, IL.

My bio... I'm a student pilot in fullscale airplanes, having about 25 hours left to complete my PPL. I took time off from fullscale about the same time I did from R/C. I have time logged in an AT-6, Stearman, and then the usual Cessna 150, 172 series and now I'm finishing everything in an Aeronca Champ. I'm a fulltime police officer, and a part time mechanic at Jet Air Inc. in Galesburg, IL, finishing up my apprenticeship for my A&P license.

I always liked IMAC competitions, maybe next year I'll get back in to that, this year I'm just concentrating on the fun of it all. I didn't realize 4 years out would put me so far behind the times!

Thanks for the website, looking forward to all it has to offer!
