About Me:

I have been building and flying models for over fifty years and still love it.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I enjoy building and designing RC models. Computer control adds so much to the experience that the possibilities are endless. It will be interesting to see where this leads to and all the new business it will bring to the hobby.
