Greetings Everyone.
I am a long time aircraft enthusiast, have loved planes and other flying machines for as long as I can remember. I had always dreamed about flying and being a pilot when I "grew up" and worked hard to learn everything i though i might need to know. Self taught myself aerodynamics and aircraft history among other things. My greatest goal was to join the USAF and become a pilot. I lived near the Air Force Academy at the time and dreamed of going there out of high school.
Of course one can never be so sure of life's plans. After some concern i ended up going to the hospital and shortly after my 15th birthday I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This i found out latter means I am unable to join the military or even fly commercial.
Well Long story short I haven't really made anything of myself since then. Finished highschool and some college afterwards but never really started a carrier. I have had over 10 jobs between then and now and am currently working as a attendant and mechanic at a local bowling alley.
so what brings me here is I have finally decided i don't want to loose my dream completely. I have seen RC flights before and even have a small quad copter and a few cheap RC helicopters. Now though i see Rc Aircraft as a way to at east semi realize my dream and fascination with flight. I am just starting out but my long term goal is to work toward FPV and being able to at least semi experience flying.
I know this is a bit long winded for a introduction post and i thank you so much for reading. I cant wait to see where this adventure will take me and learn about the hobby and craft of RC flight
