John Cordes Biography

-A A +A

I started with a Comet stick model plane in 1951. Went to UControl with a Revel Racer with an .049 engine. At age 14, I went to the desert in California to fly sail planes. At age 16, I went to Santa Monica to learn pistons. 23,000 hours later at age 76, I joined an AMA Club in Dunnellon, Florida, to learn how to fly RC. It is the hardest flying I ever did.

I no longer fly full-size aircraft but fly often a fleet of RC aircraft.
