RC Special Effects director, Executive Movie Producer, Independent RC model Reviewer.

Hello friends and welcome.
When I first started making videos for You tube, I did it to pass on some (Trial and Error Experience) that I learned on to you with some history.

I have tried to help folks with all kinds of RC problems and keep making videos to show how something works.

Be that as it may, many folks still ask "complicated questions" in the Comments sections instead of a PM.
As you know, I have always tried to answer right away.

At this point, if you have an EMERGENCY QUESTION, please PM it and DO Not Put it in the comments section, as I can NO longer physically keep up with them and the PMs..

I do hope you understand, that I made all those videos to help and if you do some searching, you will probably find my video on it and the answers to your questions.

But questions like "I fly sims and am real good, what is the best helicopter or plane for me"?, is hard to answer....

You know, can you walk and talk? LOL.

Anyway, please be patient with me, and HELP me out here.

Remember, CRASHES are a needed and important part of the learning curve.

EVERY FLIGHT is a TEST and every CRASH is a LESSON!

"If in doubt, ROLL out, because FULL UP does not save anything"!

* Advise for the NOVICES that think they need upgrades before learning to fly...." If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Upgrades will not help you fly better!
And if you believe they will, let me tell you about a bridge on the Moon, I have for sale! LOL

Wait till you break it, as most novices would not be able to recognize any improvements when learning helis anyway!

As of July 21, 2009, I have had my videos viewed by 10,295,275 people. That is over 10 Million !

I receive and try to answer an AVERAGE of 1000 PMs and e-mails a day from ALL OVER THE WORLD!
I am honored.and humbled.

* Answering all my messages is also very TIME CONSUMING, taking hours a day to respond to you all, so please be patient if I do not get back to you immediately. Please refrain from making comments or posting videos that don't pertain to my videos.

I've spent a lot of time and money in my lifetime on models, learning how to fly these to the point that manufacturers trust me to be HONEST in my reviews.

*Note: I bought 99 % of the machines you see in my videos.

.I will do everything I can to try to help you with your RC equipment and show you some RC history too.

Also,."Friend Requests" will NOT BE APPROVED, if you are NOT SUBSCRIBED TO ME

If you want my "9 HELICOPTER FLYING TIPS AND RULES OF THUMB", please REQUEST THEM in a PM, AND I WILL SEND THEM to you IN A PM.

Same with my HELICOPTER TRAINING STAND instructions/parts list.

One of my motto's is: "He who dares nothing, need not expect anything!"
