Bixler... pilot?

[PunkStar Studios]

Hey Josh.
Occasionally you use lingo that makes me think you're an actual pilot.

I was working as a pilot before I ever got into flying RC so when I hear you use a reference like "shoot an approach", I'm never sure if that's a common RC term or something from real piloting.

Just curious.

... And before all the RC guys come at me and say "Hey! We are pilots"... well.. sorry... I respectfully disagree ;-). RC "pilots" certainly have a skill set that real pilots don't have - but it's as equally unrealistic to think an RC pilot can fly an actual plane than an actual pilot can fly an RC plane.... but only one is an actual pilot. (oh gawd now I've done it - flame on?)

If you watch the episode about Bixler you will see that his dad had a plane and took him flying as a kid.

And he is currently building a Peitenpol Aircamper.

Josh's father sadly passed away two months ago. I know he must have been a very kind man.
