Greg Ringle
If you ask me what my favorite heli is, I will often answer "The one I just flew". I love flying these machines and enjoy pushing myself to learn as much as I can about them. From flying Speed to customizing a machine by stretching a 700 to an 800, I love them all. Big Air, 3D, speed.... it is all fun. Lets explore this hobby and see what we can learn.
Mike "Dude" Weatherly
This Dude loves flying
For me it's all about the fun. I love to meet new people in the RC Helicopter community. I enjoy traveling to events and meeting new people. If you see me at an event, come up introduce yourself and lets talk helicopters!!!
Greggor McGrath
One of my favorite aspects of the hobby is helping people. Traveling to events, sharing a common interest in RC helicopters and building amazing bonds amongst other pilots is what keeps me coming back. “Let’s talk nitro!”
Kramer "Buddy Box" Hecht
This hobby is full of the best people. I love flying but I also really enjoy helping others in the hobby. I love buddy boxing with new pilots and help them have a great experience. And..... if I am not at the field flying, you can find me on the gold course. Full send!!!
