New to the Hobby: My Collection

Hello!

My name is DW. I was obsessed with airplanes as a child, but life happened and I hadn't had the opportunity, time, or money, to get back into aviation until now. I've occasionally watched Flite Test videos for the last 10 years, not realizing how accessible it was to get into the hobby. Now that I am in, I am loving it.

I've had some success flying the mini tutor. The regular size tutor has had some failed attempts, but it got off the ground. I am really loving the EZ power pack on a scratch built raptor from plans shared by a member here. The PowerUp 4.0 is also pretty cool, but I find controlling it by tilting a phone to be a bit challenging. I haven't tried flying the trainer yet, but it glides well. I am looking forward to better weather soon so that I can get flying.

Looks like you're doing well! It gets addictive so fasten your seatbelt, the planes will multiply to overfill any available space.
