A spirit of flying (part 1)

When we talk about flying, most people may think of it as going overseas, going a long distance. But to me, flying has been the passion of my life that can not be replaced. Since I was young, I always think of how can we travel to remote stars. Yes, Startrek was one of the series that I've watched for a very long time. And above all, I remember all StarWars as if they were going to be on exam. ;) My childhood dream is always about aerospace and about becoming an astronaut. I own quite a few R/C airplanes and helicopters for a long time. Then in my career, I studied how to make robots and now I fly robots. Recently there is a burst in popularity of the UAV as it comes closer to our lives. Now they are many of them in military movies. Yesterday I spent the whole day flying our UAVs while capturing some nice videos from the side.



The above Jet R/C plane can achieve 300 km/h speed without any problem as you can see towards the end of the video that it just went by extremely fast. Of course, it was also dangerous to take the video of the jet passing so close. "Don't do it at home" warning: if the pilot does not know what he's doing, and if you stand in the wrong place, you will "die". This pilot happens to be one of the best R/C pilots in Thailand, if not, the world.

Since I've been in aviation industry for a short while. I would like to mention a few things about how to get into the sports and how to own an airplane. Yes, I can help you with aircraft financing (if you ever need one), and we'll keep on flying.

More to come later.

Cheers,

-Peter
