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.

As most of you know Steve hardly has time
to fly his own helis.....Why??

He is always helping everyone else with theirs!
