My interest in the RC hobby started at about 12 years old. One of my friend’s father had several RC aircraft hanging in their house. I didn’t get to see him fly them, as he was not very active at that time, but I was fascinated with them. I bought my first RC airplane in 1994, a crashed basket-case Sky Lark trainer with a Super Tiger 40, and a Futaba AM gold box radio. I attempted twice to fly it on my own, and repaired the major crash damage that resulted. I stumbled onto the RRCC field in 1999 while in search of a boat ramp, and decided to drag out my beat-up trainer and hang around the field looking wistful. Will Kuhnle offered to train me, I joined the club, and have been a member since. I’ve owned a limited number of RC planes, and tend to fly the wings off of one before I go to another. I currently fly a Sig Somethin Extra built from a kit, and have a 40 sized Ultra Stick ARF, and Decathlon ARF in work. I like float planes and most of my planes have, or will fly off of the water.

I served the Club on the mowing crew a couple years ago, I help with as many of the club events as I can, and I directed the Float Fly last year. I appreciate your confidence in electing me as your club secretary, and look forward to the task.
