Hello Coolice here

Post by coolice »

Hey All.

Just thought I'd say hello to everyone before running off to have a read of the forum.

For those that don't know me, I have been flying RC model helicopters now for 32 years and enjoy every minute of them still. I also fly fixed wing for fun and to unwind with :D
I am currently sponsored by RobbeUK and Midland Helicopters, flying Align machines and in the past have flown for TSK UK, Bergen, CenturyUK and Century Helicopters USA.

I have my own RC flight school and setup service, I also make and sell power supplies and complete charge case solutions.
My other trades are vinyl graphics, CAD Design & web design.

Look forward to chatting with you all.

Hi Ian, we are lucky to have someone with your experience join this group. I also fly fixed wing because it is relaxing but heli's are special I'll never stop...

Look forward to getting to know you.
