Peter Waplinger Biography

Model airplanes, including flying a drone as well as being a soaring pilot (with 68 hours), have been a great hobby, which my Dad introduced me to.

I was nine years of age when we drove in a VW bus from Lima, Peru, to Buenos Aires, to visit my Mom's family there. While in Buenos Aires, we visited a store, which offered a great variety of Free Flight gliders. We took a couple kits to my grandparents home while there and ended building one small kit and also purchased a A-1 kit (Jetstream), which we took back home to Peru.
