Bill Westphall is an RC model enthusiast from Yuma, USA, and has been flying radio controlled models such as RC helicopters and RC planes for the last fifty years, so when it comes to RC experts, Bill is about as expert as they come.
I tell people it is the only thing I ever learned to do well, so I kept doing it. It took about a year to learn how to do well.
Bill is such an RC model enthusiast that he’s club president of the Yuma Aeromodelers Club. Bill intends to share his passion for radio controlled helicopters and planes with others, and wants to teach youngsters how to build and fly RC models.
Anyone is welcome to come out to our field and get close to it. Once you get into airplanes, you don’t ever want to do any other type.
The RC model club has been running for more than thirty-years, and has roughly 125 members. Some of the RC club members are even in the military. They have a $25 annual membership fee, which they use to maintain the runway for the RC planes to take off and land.
The club has been at its current site since 1996 and has a 600 foot long runway for its RC planes.
