About Me:

I'm just an "OLD DOG" Dinosaur who started RC flying about 50 years ago. Now, I'm having a ball with all the amazing equipment and products that are now available to the Hobbist. To have the opportunity of doing product reviews and photography had been just fantastic. I have met so many wonderful RC people in the past several years and these relationships are most valued!

Chris,I just found your site and signed up immediately. You certainly have created a specific forum for all of us RC fliers who are interested in UAV's and Drones. I got the bug when I had the opportunity to review the Nitro Predator UAV for RCU,…
