Michael Solon was 2018 recipient of the Dewey O Broberg Scholarship. Michael was introduced to RC world when he was in 9th grade. He joined the aeronautics team at his high school as a freshman. He would stay late to fly flight simulators and he eventually graduated to crashing real RC planes. He prefers to use drones because of their practicality. One of Michael's favorite memories is during Christmas. He received a drone as a present. The first time he flew his drone was to take a few photos around the beach. However, because he didn’t trim it yet, the wind immediately sent it at max speed away from him. Soon after, his new drone made its way towards the ocean. Michael said it got far enough so that all the camera could see was ocean and the sun rising. When Michael was about to give up, the wind suddenly changed directions and pushed it back onto the beach. The whole adventure was recorded on video. After high school, Michael plans to go to college to study mechatronic engineering. Congratulations to Michael for being the 2018 recipient of the Dewey O Brobery Scholarship.
