    Wow it's good seeing brothers in this hobby. You definitely represent us. I'm 73 years old and fly scale birds. Wish you could have met and known John Wilson of Scotch Plains, NJ. He passed away last year due to Covid. A real good friend, upon learning of passing named on of my FBL 450s (Augusta A109} after him. I made a decal with his name and put it on the Pilot's door. His You Tube web site is still on "Automatic Universe". Never got into 3D but do like F3C flying. Enjoyed this video very much.

    Nick seems a real nice approachable genuine guy that would help others. I wish someone like Nick would fly a heli on a cheap radio and prove you don't need a certain brand to fly helis. Take the pressure off others that want to join the hobby and learn there is a starting point and you don't have to be in the deepend

    you guys have to pursue Jamie Robertson, and try to make him come back into the hobby, I watched him in some videos at IRCHA this year but hope he got sponsored like Nick. Those three guys have been my inspiration to flight years ago, Jamie, Nick and Kyle Dahl. Best regards from Bogota, Colombia
