I started in this hobby in 2001 after spending 10 years racing rc cars and flying planes for a short time. Since then I have been teaching local pilots how to setup helicopters and teaching them to fly at my local field here in Grand Rapids Michigan.

I would still consider myself a novice at the 3D level but still burning fuel and trying that next new trick ! 

I own A raptor 90,raptor 50 Titan, ,Align 450 and a hopped up blade cp.  Newly added to the fleet is a Trex 600 nitro

My gyro of choice is a csm 720 and my radio of choice is a Futaba 9C super, Engine choice ranges from OS to YS and muffler of choice is Hatori.
