Started flying RC planes in 73 that helped me into the Hawaii Army National Guard in1979. Qualified in the UH-1 in 81. Transitioned into the OH-58 in the 90’s. Transitioned to the CH-47D in 94. Retired from my guard in 2005 after a tour in Iraq. I started RC helicopters in the mid 80’s and scale Heli’s soon after. Flying models has been big part of my life and helped in my flying career. Now I am enjoying building RC Scale Helicopters and enjoying the hobby fellowship.
