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.
Steve O'Connor --Crashing since 2006
For me it's all about the fun which has a lot to do with the people in the RC Helicopter community. I love flying and traveling to events but don't push when it comes to flying. I've owned pretty much every helicopter out there. Most everyone of them is fantastic helicopter, we live in a great time!
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!”
