About US
Now based in the UK, I have been building and flying Model planes on and off since the early eighties. I began flying model planes whilst living in Zambia (Africa), a small number of us would use a dis-used airfield. My first plane was a Robbe Parat, as I remember it was about 50″ trainer, had an Enya 19 engine, and was 3 function (Elevator, Rudder and throtle) although i believe there was a four function version. Other guys that were there as I remember had the Precedent Hi-boy, Wot 4’s and lots of other planes, and too many to mention. Its been a long time since then and over the years i have enjoyed building and flying many planes. To me, the building of a plane is as enjoyable and as important as the flying. That said, I also have a fair collection of ARTF models myself, and it is only fair to say that the quality of many of these models are excellent.
I enjoy all aspects of model planes, whether they be electrics, i.c, high wingers, low wingers, war birds, bipes, all have their place, some days i prefer a lazy ben buckle, others something fast and furious.
