Hello Everybody, my name is Ron, from way up north in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. I actually joined the forum a long time ago, but only made a few posts in a thread about a small radio control Starduster Too. I like to check in and see whats new every few days though.
I have been an aircraft maintenance engineer (canadian equivilant of an A&P/IA) for just over 10 years, and I have had my private pilots license now for 5 years.
As much as I would love to be flying around in a nice biplane, all I have right now is my Cessna 172. I bought the plans for the Starduster Too about 8 years ago, but life has gotten in the way of building it.....my oldest boy turned 7 over the weekend
.
So, for now, the good ole' 172 will have to do, and I will have to get my 'biplane kicks' through the rest of you, and my R/C stuff. At the moment I have a 1/5 scale Skybolt on the go. Last summer I had the priviledge of taking my younger boys (4 years old) for their very first airplane ride in my friends Cessna 150. (My oldest boy has flown a few times in the '172.)
