Stuck in DC's no-fly zone
Didn't see an age limit in the ToS and since flying is fun for all ages ;) Best I start getting to know pilots and builders alike early! Still in high-school but always on the trigger when offered anything regarding flying (unless it involves 2 cardboard wings and a rooftop).

My name is Kyle, brought up from 2-3 past generations in the love of flying. My father prefers the smaller R/C stuff, which I happily accompany him when we're out at the DC/RC field, though I enjoy the dream of soaring freely in a plane I constructed myself. I take after my grandfather who owned and flew a Beechcraft Musketeer to watch local airshows, though his passing was before my time and I never got to ride in his plane. I plan on getting my pilot's liscense and turn my dreams into practical designs!..

My only setback? I'm stuck in the no-fly zone of this nation's capitol :tired: Though I am tolerant of their much needed security. It just means I'll have to wait till I graduate to move somewhere with a wonderful campus offering aeronautical engineering as well as a local airpark (Any suggestions? I'm still undecided). Despite being caged here, it hasn't stopped me from learning what I can and designing the ideas I come up with for planes. I decided this place is a wonderful resource for books, experience, and helpful tips alike once I do actually start building!

Despite being on the younger side of the scale, I do hope to fit in here and receive wonderful advice from pilots and builders over my designs and future projects! Trust me, I have a whole two years to plan my first plane out before I'm able to build it :gig:
