| STEVE ANDERSON - MAY 2008 |
I began flying RC airplanes in 1964 and bought my first helicopter, a Hirobo Shuttle, in 1989. With this helicopter I learned to
hover and fly figure eights. This toy was sold to help buy a wedding ring for Cherie. I must have really wanted to get
married. I didn't fly helis again until 2004 when a trade was made for three RC helicopters. I had planned on selling them
but temptation got the better of me.
I have a wonderful wife, three boys, and a dog. We have a home in Mount Vernon and I'm overjoyed to have found such a
wonderful group of enthusiasts to share the hobby with.
How long in R/C hobbies - a)Helicopters 4 years b) Flying 40+ years c) boats, cars, 1 year
Other hobbies - Photography
Involvement in our club - I get the opportunity here to mention how much Jason and I have enjoyed everyone here in this
hobby. If it wasn't for the tall tales, overabundance of lengthy stories, and the older I get the better I use to be syndrome, it
would be just flying and that would only be half the fun. Thanks everyone.
I look forward to a fun summer with all of you. Thanks for the award. It means a lot to me.
