• Winston's (my dad's) Piper Colt. All right, this one isn't R/C, but it's still nice :-)
• Eric's homemade hovercraft. I know, this isn't even a plane.

Eric has been flying for years. Eric is a very good, but conservative flyer. He used to be more reckless, but then he discovered that crashes cost money and require a lot of work.

Steven has been flying for years. He's a real mechanic. He services the planes, repairs them, and generally keeps them ready-to-go. He has really put in the stick time, and is also very good. When he's not doing as many landing as he can squeeze out of a tank of fuel, he flies full speed and keeps spectators quite dizzy.
