Personal Profile |
|
| About Me: | I am a printed circuit board designer who has loved the R/C model airplane hobby since I was a young boy. After a massive layoff from the company I was working for, I have had the opportunity to combine these passions and abilities to design innovative planes and accessories for the electric R/C airplane enthusiast. |
Business Description |
|
| About My Business: |
After the lay-off in 2006, I had some time to design and build an R/C airplane design which attracted much attention and prompted requests for mass production from other pilots at the flying field. I looked into having laser-cut kits made, and started promoting my product online and at major R/C events. Since that first design, I have developed six other plane designs which have all been well-received, along with a whole series of plastic accessories which work with not only my own designs, but some other very popular plane designs. My innovative designs and guiding principles of quality and great customer service have helped our business grow to have dealers and customers all over the U.S. and the world, with many returning customers and friend referrals. Just a sampling of customer testimonials may be seen on our website: http://www.flyerc.com/Testimonials.html. We know that our company is limited from growing to the next level because we do not have the resources to have all of our plane designs made into ARFs (Almost-Ready-to-Fly planes, which are pre-built and covered). We are bombarded with requests for ARFs by people who love our designs, have seen them fly, but are not into the building part of the hobby. We had made an initial investment to have ARFs made in China of our first and most popular design and sold those out very quickly, but have not been able to have more made and would ideally like to keep the production of our planes here in the US to help our own economy recover. We invite you to check out our product line on our website: www.flyerc.com or www.millenniumrc.com. My background in the military, electronics and knowledge of airplane design has prompted me to start developing plans for a UAV design for military as well as other applications. |
