I’m a retired auto repair technician/shop owner. My first production to RC was at the age of four. I was born in Zambia, Africa, and attended an RC flying demo at a local park in 1961. Two Americans performed amazing flying with pattern aircraft. I can vividly remember the gold-colored control boxes they held. I was awestruck.
I built and flew my first slope glider at 28 years of age. I’m an active club member and avid, passionate RC pilot at 68 years of age. I reside in St. George, Utah. I have an extensive fleet of warbirds. Both gas and electric of various sizes. All are balsa. The driving force behind my hobby is due, in large part, from listening to my Uncle’s stories. He was a Battle of Britain RAF Spitfire pilot. His Name is Robert Doig. I fly in his honor.
