| Editor Biography: |
I've been flying since the late 60's (U-Control), and building/flying R/C since the late 70's. Lots of scratch building and fun fly design since 1987. Wrote for R/C Report (Hockaday's How-to-do's) and the RC Section of Heathkit Kit Builder's Journal (R/C Electronics builds and mods, and kit builds) in the 80's. My wife and I were the founders/owners of Hobby Radio in Wilson NC, until we sold it sometime around 1988.
My primary employment is owner of a motorcycle and accessories manufacturing company (since '98) named Scootworks (www.scootworks.com) where I design motorcycle accessories, write the technical manuals for many of our manufactured products, and manage day-to-day operations.
I also own a Hobby Shop with my two sons, Brandon and Chris named East R/C (www.eastrc.org). It is located in Zebulon, NC, next to Scootworks. We are a full service Hobby Shop with everything from micro to giant scale, Warbirds, Aerobatic & 3-D, E-Flight, Heli, and more. We also have a myspace page at www.myspace.com/eastrc .
