Aviation has always been a part of my life.  From watching R.C. planes at the airfield, to watching the planes at the airport or in the sky, and even by going to airshows and air museums! I have always been in awe of how these massive hunks of metal and or foam could get off the ground and soar into the sky!

         I first entered the hobby such as any 13 year old would and started watching YouTube videos about R.C. planes. This would lead me to find the channel "Flite Test". This was a group of guys who built crazy things and pushed the boundaries of foam airplanes. With this inspiration I asked for some foam and hot glue and got to work! My first designs failed but one day after studying what I could have been doing wrong it happened, my hunk of foam flew, and the excitement was crazy! After this one flew, I had to build more and try different things, and eventually everything I built was flying. Not only was it flying but it was flying very well.

       I soon after found out about an event Flite Test was holding for electric R.C. enthusiasts called "Flite Fest"! This event was where all sorts of people come and fly together. After I went to Flite Fest, I had a new understanding and inspiration for flight as well as some new friends.

      Fast Forward 4 years and I was a great pilot and an even better builder and wanted to start a business to share my ideas and flying machines with other people! After a lot of work, we have now created a business called "Ohio RC Innovations" where we make affordable, durable, and easy to build planes to inspire others just as I was!
