I flew mostly slope planes on and off from 1970 - 1990. Recently retired from Walt Disney Imagineering and got back into the hobby in 2017. (Such incredible advances in the hobby!) I scratch-built a parasol-wing 3-channel trainer to start with, and now have a couple of war birds, a Laser foamy, an Extreme Flight Extra, some Combat wings, an 11-foot sailplane, and a couple of tiny drones. I'm afraid to try helicopters - I'm sure that I would love it!
I love this club. It is chock full of super helpful, caring members willing to take time out of their precious flying time to help anyone enjoy the hobby more.

Next thing I know... BOOM! 20+ planes...
Fell in love with the hobby several years ago. Started with the usual "I only need this ONE plane to learn to fly..." 20+ planes later I'm still learning to fly. WWII planes are by far my favorite but have jets and heli's as well.
