A bit about my pilot background. Aš§µ: - I started dreaming about flying when I was 2yo. (Maybe before but I made this number up as I can't remember, but when I was a kid for sure). - I drew my first plane around 5yo. And all drawings had a plane in it after that. Drawing of mom, of course, look she is in a plane, you can see her eye through the window. A flower? Here's one with a plane flying over... - I went as a passenger on front seat in a DR200 at 6yo - I built my first model plane out of balsa wood with my teacher when I was 10yo. - I built one all by myself at 12 with a small 1.5cc gas engine. I still have it but it requires some repairs. Glue is cracking. - I drew my first plane blueprint at about the same age. - I wanted to be a pilot but poor seight made teachers tell me I could not. It's completely incorrect. Many fly with glasses. - then I discovered computer simulation and flew everything that looked like a plane. They were looking more like a pixel at the time but imagination does the rest.

- I started RC planes flying again after 30y. I was not a pilot because of grown ups having this bad habit to tell you that you are not good enough for your dreams. I followed the path of my other passion, computers. But I later bought an RC foam trainer with electric engine. - realized that real scale planes where just on the runway behind the edge and discussed with pilots. - realized I've been lied too all my life by adults. And at 40 I decided to give it a try. - first sailplane flight for my birthday. I puked. But immediately wanted to try again. - got my sailplane license 6y ago. - now flying on 7 planes (we have to be trained for each one specifically), including a motor glider. - I can have passengers and provide maiden flights. - I share my passion with everyone. - I make sure no kid gives up on their dreams.

Don't lie to us, you don't "fly". You just fall with style. š
