A Little About Me
Welcome to my RC flight blog. I'm Erwin and this is where I document my chronicles in the RC hobby. I fly stuff. If it has wings and a radio-control link, I can fly it. I do most of my flying in South Florida - mainly Miami. I've been flying RC airplanes for many years. I invite you to follow me on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube because I'm cool and definitely worth a follow.
