I got my PPL in '86, but I don't fly much anymore. Started flying planks in '08 and Heli's in '12. First heli was a Blade SR. Currently enjoy flying my Align helicopters. My 700E is my current favorite.

I’ve been flying collective pitch for one year now same time I found Helifreak. Started with a fixed pitch and only lasted for three months before I had to have something better and more challenging.

Just made the move from a MJX F49 fixed pitch to a Trex 450 about 3 months ago after getting tired of being lofted by the wind. I've been flying almost every day sense and loving every minute of it!

I started flying helis when I was 16, thanks to a gift from a good friend, learned so much from all the members of our local unofficial club.
Now I'm getting back into them researching autonomous flight, and I'm relearning my 3D flight, going to take it much further this time since my gear wasn't purchased with Mom and Dad's money so I can be more daring
