Chief test pilot: Mike Midkiff

Mike has been building and flying scale models for the last 40 years and is one of the original members of the Flying Aces Club from Erie, Pennsylvania. His thrill for competition began almost 30 years ago and evolved into designing intricate scale models over the past 18 years. Mike is fascinated by the results that can be achieved when engineering principles are applied to model aircraft concept and design using his experience as an engineer by trade. Mike is currently "semi retired" and now devotes more time to new and unusual designs that lend themselves to performance potential whether F.F. rubber or electric and light, electric RC systems.
