Radio Control Model Aircraft and Free Flight Model Aircraft
When I was a teenager my father encourage me to build plastic models of World War II Aircraft as well as Cars and Motorcycles.
When I was 12 years old my Dad gave me a Balsa Wood Model of a North American F-86 Sabre Jet and I started to assemble it but never had a chance to finish it. So, my interest in Model Airplanes, be Free Flight or Radio Control type never fizzle away and the urge to build a Radio Control Model returned once again as a mature adult with 30 + years of Aviation Experience. At this time I am building a Scale Model Aeronca Champion 85 with 24" Wing Span with Full Flight controls/ Self Stabilization Electronics and Electric Power Plant.
Additional Information
In the 80's I served in the US NAVY with Attack Squadron VA81 home based in NAS Cecil Field close to Jacksonville Florida.
My Sea Going Squadron was assigned to Air Wing 17 out of Norfolk VA. I served for 3 years in active duty followed by 2 years or Reserve Duty
