Vinman, do you know Gary Q? Used to fly choppers with him, I think he lived in Howell also. I quit about 12 years ago shortly after my first porsche. Flew airplanes first, then helicopters. Shuttles, Excels, concept .30s....still have a few collecting dust in the basement.

Back then, to learn I would bring two or three choppers to the field, fly until they all broke, fix them weeknights, and be ready again for next weekend. After a few weeks, rarely crashed.

Just like racing, practice, practice, practice.....
Nah, dont know him. All my copter flying was in my yard. never wanted to do it in public view. I still have my first Schluter 60 I bought 20 yrs ago. and I have a Hirobo Shuttle, that I wrecked about 80 times. Was thinking about picking up one of those small electrics they have out now.
Most of my r/c flying was up in staten island. when i moved to Nj I got out of it and got more into r/c boats.
Hard to find places to fly, and I'm not big on the r/c club scene.
