Nathan grew up driving and fixing up remote control cars. After we were married and moved to Utah he decided he wanted to try something a little different - now he flies remote control planes. He started out on a flight simulator (*if you crash on the simulator it doesn't cost you any money...so you can learn to fly without smashing your plane all to pieces!) His first plane purchase was the Parkzone T-28 Trojan.
Being the handy man he is he then wanted to build his own plane.
This one is his wing.

Fast and light weight - he built it and loves it! Two weekends ago we got to go out to the sod farms near Lindon and Orem to participate in the Uncivil War. 60 planes in the air at the same time trying to crash into one another, go through obstacles, and just have a blast. I'm telling you, these guys sure aren't afraid to bang up and crash their planes. I was cracking up watching them. Up to this point Nathan has been pretty careful with his plane and while there, I think we realized just how much damage these planes can take. Nathan got in some crashes and hard landings and afterwards told me "this is so fun!! Even if my plane were to get totally destroyed it'd still all be worth it!'
