Steven PetrottoVerified

I’ve been flying model aircraft for over 25 years, and for the last 15 I’ve been lucky enough to make a career out of it at Horizon Hobby, where I lead brand management for the Air category: E-flite, Blade, HobbyZone, Hangar 9, and RealFlight.

Outside the office, I’m president of the Monticello Model Masters at Eli Field in central Illinois, I compete in RC scale, and I hold an AMA Large Model Aircraft waiver for both prop and turbine. My current pride and joy is a Roban 800-size SAR Huey that took about a year to build. I also serve on the board of Hobbies for Good and run the @StevesRC YouTube channel.

If you see me at a fly-in, come say hi. I’ll talk airplanes all day.
