About this user

For as long as I can remember, I've been building models. When I was very young I was putting plastic models of airplanes together. The building of model plastic display aircraft soon gave way to the building of flying basla models. I was introduced to RC models when I was only 12, while living in Alaska. The job of building RC aircraft remained with me for many years to follow. Although I enjoyed building RC models, for a long time I never moved forward and leaned to fly them.

I have and still do enjoy the building and flying model rockets. At one time I taught model rocketry to kids and helped many organizations (such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and 4H) with their model rocketery programs.

I have spent many years building scale RC ships. I enjoy 1/96th scale military navel vessels.

A few years back I finally joined my local RC club and learned to fly. I quickly learned to fly a simple trainer type model then quickly moved into Giant Scale aerobatic aircraft. With moving so quickly I picked up allot of "Bad Habits" along the way. This has forced me to step back and start learning the "basics" correctly!

I started this YouTube channel many years ago and really didn't do much with it. I first started shooting video of my flying so I could go back and see what I was doing wrong and what I could improve. This simple purpose has given way to me making videos now with the single purpose is to share them with other RC pilots from around the world. I thank everyone who visits my channel, and ask you to please Comment and Subscribe.
