Scott Lee - Orlando, Florida , USA
I really enjoy the history and the re-creation of history we are able to do through the building, detailing and flying of WW1 & vintage aircraft. I really enjoy researching and reading up on the planes I have built and are currently flying. It gives me the opportunity to share what I know about WW1 aircraft with kids and people at air shows and events. An opportunity to keep alive the history and primitive early days of the WW1 fighter.”

James W. "Rich" Richardson - Enid, Oklahoma, USA
 "I've been hooked on WW 1 aviation since the early 70s, my favorite movie is "The Blue Max", I have watched it dozens of times.  I love to build and lately I have added more scale detail to my projects.  WW I aircraft have
such classic lines and a statement of character.  I enjoy reading and researching the history of these aircraft and that era
."

Began flying RC in 1972, first WW I airplane  Sterling 60 size Fokker D VII in

Steve "Camel Jockey" Carter -  Anderson Indiana, USA
I saw a build thread on the hangar 9 60 size Sopwith camel, I have been a bi-plane fan since I was a kid so I just had to have this one. I love flying it and watching it fly. Subsequently I found the Hoosier dawn Patrol website and found out they where having an event in muncie (15 minutes from my house) and had to attend. WOW!!! Those giant scale war birds where beautiful and sparked all kinds of emotions watching them fly. I had to build one so i bought a 1/4 scale Nieuport 11 on the spot. Can't wait to fly it this season. so now I am an AVID ww1 aircraft NUT!!.. I am glad to know there are more like me.

Jeffrey Shutic - Wakeman , Ohio , USA
"I really enjoy the historical/technical aspect of WW I aircraft. There is a lot to choose from when considering what to build and fly. Various methods of construction and a maze of rigging wire to keep things in their place just adds to the overall appeal of these "Contraptions".

“I have always liked airplanes, especially those with propellers.  The slow, methodical flight of the  early planes just adds that much more appeal.  I am also a full scale pilot and received my taildragger checkout in a 1943 Stearman PT 17.”
