I have encountered Matt Andren at RC events across the country for many years. When I bought my first Discus Launch Glider (DLG) three years ago, he showed up at the Southeast Electric Flight Festival (SEFF) with a micro DLG he had cobbled together. I had to have one! I later saw the final version of that airplane on the Horizon Hobby website and man was I excited.

We likely all have RC heroes. Mine is Quique Somenzini. The fire for RC ignited in me after I watched him fly around a horse-racing track in Argentina.

I have a rule about RC airplanes: I don’t want an aircraft that will make me cry if I crash it. When I stick-built my first airplane, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking before I got to the field. The investment of hours in build time can make a maiden flight more nerve-wracking. I had so much blood, sweat, and tears in the airplane that the thought of crashing it was overwhelming.
