Arizona Aero Models

Flying R/C in the Desert!

This site details my exploration of model aviation over the past 20 years, and documents my success in getting stuff to fly (or not!) I will also share my current R/C projects and maybe some other interesting things from time to time. Please bear with me, as I’m still learning how to setup and run a website.

I’m proud to be a life member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, and a flight instructor at Sonoran Desert Flyers R/C Club in Tucson, Arizona. My goal is to share everything I know about this awesome hobby with as many people I can.

I custom build R/C models for very reasonable rates and I offer free R/C flight instruction at the flying field, see the R/C Flight Instruction page.

Please feel free to look around and enjoy your visit!

Oro Valley Book Festival

I will be building a Dumas 18” Pitts Special biplane, for micro R/C gear as a demonstration at the 2010 Oro Valley Public Library Book Festival, Feb 13th. Check out the link to the left, I am listed under the  “Not just for English majors” section.

Many of the building techniques I will use to construct the micro Pitts are detailed in the book Flying Models, by Don Ross.

I will also have a couple of other models I have built on display.
