The black thing on my barrel is a silencer. It works real well, making sound and recoil feel like a .22 rifle.
Thanks for wishing well my future hunts. If I get the trophy of my dreams, I'll post a pic for you

Hey folks, name is Rolf King Jr. from Manila, Philippines. I am 31 and had been flying for about 8 years. Been into RC cars and was racing compettively until about 2001. Got myself a 2ch firebird and taught myself to fly, never looked back! I'm currently flying 30 and 35% gassers but planning to make the jump up to 40% composites by the end of the year. Got hooked onto freestyle aerobatics ever since i saw Mark Leeseburg fly to the music of "Era" Title "Divano" probably back in 2004 or 2005. Over here, I am in the business of the importation of used cars, trucks, and heavy equipment from Japan. We also have an auction facility that we run right in the heart of the city www.auction-manila.com. I'm also blessed with a wonderful 2 year old daughter and a lovely wife who in the beginning supported me with the hobby and now would raise an eyebrow if she would see any new goodies Good thing that I used to distribute RC hobby products a couple of years back and could always make an excuse that i get my stuff at cost

A friendly bump to the top. So i will add my information

Im Mario (Supermario that is). I am 30 years old and have been flying for the past 3 years.

Started out with a Nexstar trainer that I ordered on the whim, and have been addicted since. Qualified for my Pilots Certificate 2 "flying" months after my first instuction session. I have since become an instructor.

Progressed to Aerobatic Glow planes and finally made the move this year to a 50cc gas, and I jsut picked up my first 35%.

I will be entering IMAC this season in beginers to see how I like compeditive flying.

Hello,
I am Rob Whalen. I live in western Pa (south of Pittsburgh) and Have been flying for about 15 years. I am a Design Draftsman for a bulk material handling company. Been doing CAD for over 12 years now. At the end of this semester of college I will have a degree in CAD/CAM, and a certificate in CNC. I am fluent in AutoCad,Inventor,and MasterCam. In my spare time I design and build planes, ride my motorcycle, and drag race. I have designed and built my own CNC router that I use to make kits and prototype. I have a wonderful wife and baby girl who support my addiction to RC. I love to fly everything from foamies to giants, and the occasional heli if I want to break something. It was nice to meet all of you!!

Hi, I'm Bruce Whatley. I was lucky enough to get into data processing in the early 80s, and although it consumes a tremendous amount of time, it has been rewarding. I started out flying control line, but not well. I got my first AMA card in 1983. Have two sons that joined my hobby, now they are 23 and 20 and still fly with me when they have the time. I have been a board member with the local club for 5 years, and I have done the website for the last 6 years. I have 4 quarter scales, two SU31s, and two Yak54s. I also have a 120 and 90 size Ultimate. My youngest son has a 80" Jerry's BigBoy, and a 81" Bosanova. There's more plains but I won't bore you.

Name: Gmoney, money or "G" even my wife calls me Gmoney!
Location: West Tawakoni, TX
Interest: Well shiz, you name it. camping, trail riding, racing moto, desert riding, wakeboarding, surfing, Stand up paddle boarding, rat rods, anything that goes bang. Boats powered and nonpowered. scuba diving, free diving,
History: Heck I started flying U-control with my dad and grandfather and well the rest is history. Obviously I havent flown all those years seems as though when something grabs my attention its an all or nothing sort of deal. All IN all the time. I will and have flown just about everything with wings and crashed every plane I have ever built. I have two that havent been crashed YET! I love helicopters and love the pucker it gives in a simple hover. I love teaching guys and BSing at funflys. I love doing any event where there are going to be cool people that are stoked on a killer vibe. Love the helo's cuz the crowd is young, love the glider guys cuz there just nuts, love the jet guys cuz they really know how to do it RIGHT! Love the racing folks cuz they are just one big family. I think I have covered all the major sigs. Did the scale thing for a bit, Old guys arent my thing but it was fun. Heck even did some club politics.Event organizing, and of course the web thing. Couldnt survive without a dose of teamflyingcircus.com, flyinggiants.com,crackroll,com.and Kinkytoys.com....

Just moved to TX so looking forward to finding a new crew to fly with and going to events that where just to far and some I didnt even know about.. 2010 looks to be a good flying year.

Gmoney
