Getting Started in RC model Airplane
My Story
I have always been fascinated by anything that flies since I was young. When I was 13 years old I joined the Singapore Junior Flying Club (now called Singapore Youth Flying Club). Because I was colour blind I could not enrolled for the private pilot license program. Thus I had to be contented with flying model airplanes.
I started on flying control line models then. However due to lack of funds and other teenage interests I stopped flying control line models.
Now I am 33, married with two kids and have more time and funds to pursue my passion for flying. I started building and flying RC models about one and half years ago and have never looked back.
