ORANGE COUNTY MODELERS ASSOCIATION
THE TRADES
I have only been into RC for 4
years. Started out flying electrics in Mission Viejo at Olympiad Park (AKA
Flo-Jo). Joined OCMA as the field at Black Star was being readied. I
volunteered to be a Field Marshal at that time and have been doing that
"tough duty" (?) since that time. I am presently serving as the OCMA Safety
Officer.
My interest in RC started while I was working as a patrol Deputy with the
Orange County Sheriff's Department in the early/mid 80's. I worked Mile
Square Park on holidays and spent a few hours watching you "old guys" fly
back then. My son bought me my first RC plane, a Hobby Zone Commander, the
Christmas before I retired. As soon as I figured out how to keep it in the
air, I was hooked. You can find me and my warbird Squadron at the field
most weekday mornings and weekends, every so often. The "Squadron" is down
to a Kyosho Spitfire90 and an ESM P-51 on the assembly table.
