AS I STOOD in front of a crowd of people at the 2008 AMA
Convention in California, I thought “Maybe it is a new day for the
AMA.”

Breaking into the RC industry - 201209
I remember the moment I went from
being an RC hobbyist to working
in the RC industry. Some RC pilots
want to keep their hobby a hobby, but
for some of us, our dream is to do what
we love for a living. The tricky part is
fi guring out how to make that happen.

THE TYPE OF flying that is being called “3-D” has changed the
face of RC and has helped the hobby move forward. To some “3-D” is
a dirty word, while others scratch their heads and point out that any
type of flying is 3-D.
Don’t get caught up in what it’s called; that is unimportant. What
is important is to understand what it means to the hobby.
At one time 3-D pilots were considered outlaws and unworthy of
flying at certain fields, but eventually the 3-D wave washed over the
RC hobby and changed it forever. This is the story of 3-D.
Jim Martin: The Man Who Electrified RC - 2012/02
If you have been in this hobby
for the past eight years or so, you
will have noticed that there are
a number of airplanes powered by
electric motors. When I started flying,
this wasn’t the case. You may have seen
some homemade foamie airplanes at
the field, but you never saw an electricpowered
.40-size model.
