Long time flier, recent foamie addict!

[LPerry]

Hello all,
I've been flying rc off and on for a long while. I recently injured myself on a motorcycle and turned back to RC while I healed up. Finding Flitetest has been a great thing! Now the kids and I are building all sorts of stuff and flying together. We were at Flite fest east from Wednesday night through Sunday and had a fantastic time.

I love what Josh and the crew are doing for the hobby and people in general.

Our current fleet is a couple guineas, about 5 tiny trainers, a sparrow, a bushwacker, a couple homemade designs in foam and a gremlin on the way in the mail! Most of the airplanes my 4 kids have built with a little guidance. I have a feeling we're really gonna get into the drones next.

Looking forward to the next FliteFest east!

Perry

Hello Perry,
I was out on the flight line meeting as many as I could. Perhaps our paths crossed. Regardless it is very pleasing to see you are in this with your kids. How fortunate to have this hobby as a vehicle for family bonding and learning technical aspects of flight.

Please keep us in the loop of how things are going and share some photos/videos when able.

Welcome to the forum.
