Welcome Frank Dumas to the Jeti USA/ Esprit Model Flight Team!

Since around the age of ten, Frank Dumas has always dreamed of flying Remote Control Aircraft. One day, while walking through his local mall, a beginner’s electric sailplane kit caught his eye. This kit was exactly what Frank had wanted since childhood. Determined to fulfill his dream, he purchased the kit, built it, and crashed it within twenty four hours. His crash, however did not discourage him. Instead he repair it and eventually taught himself to fly RC.  Frank started flying various sailplanes, eventually expanding to 3D aircraft, fast EDFs and then to foamies. Frank currently flies in his hometown at the DESS (Down East Soaring Society) Club, attending competitions whenever he can. “I fly there whenever I get the chance, but usually fly in parks around Raleigh/Durham NC.” Stated Frank. Can’t wait to see you on the field!

Flying his newly refurbished and repainted PST Reaction, Jim was one of about 45 registered pilots at the Arizona Jet Rally this weekend. “We were blessed with light winds and blue sky, so flying conditions were great,” States Jim. His Reaction, set up to resemble an F-4 Phantom is complete with dual cockpit, lights, and droppable centerline tank runs an R14 and an R3 Receiver, MVario, MGPS, Xicoy-Jeti ECU adaptor, and a Cortex Gyro. His jet was such a hit, he won “Best Sport Jet”. Way to go Jim!
