Hi everyone, You'll normally find me in the helicopter threads. But today wanted to share with you something about me. During the Vietnam War (2 tours) was active in flying UH-1D Huey helicopters. Later on served in West Germany (1972-1975) and joined a RC model airplane club. I lost interest when returning to the states since the real ones took up a lot of my attention and time. But 10 years ago got back in the hobby, this time with helicopters and have invested quite a bit of money in them. A few months ago fran11784 also a member of the forum whom I met early last year noted we lived less than 15 minutes from each other. He is an awesome flyer in both fix and rotary aircraft, well anyway he gave me a E-flite Cirrus SR22 a few months ago. All I needed to do was buy the lipo batteries. I couldn't ask for a better friend and appreciate that very much. So two weeks ago was my 75th birthday and my wife of 52 years surprise with me with an E-flite Apprentice BNF
. Wow you should have seen me do my happy dance
I made a special place to hang them from the wall and they look great. So I turn two of my garage walls to hold all my aircraft. This hobby is keeping me active and young at heart. I can't thank RC-Help.com enough for the wonderful information shared and awesome people met on line.
Best regards, Jim
