Darrick's Bio
I started flying R/C Helicopters in 2006. I purchased my first Align T-Rex 600N in 2010 and began seriously pursuing learning to fly 3D. In 2013, I was fortunate enough to become a Team Align pilot, and have been flying as a representative for the company ever since.
In 2014, I competed at the XFC 3D competition and took 8th place. I have competed at the IRCHA Night competition in 2012, 2013, and 2014. Throughout the normal fun fly season, I travel to 7-10 events around the Northeast/Mid Atlantic region, as well as IRCHA and the Orlando Heli Blowout.
I enjoy putting together technical videos to help both new & old pilots enjoy their models further. I am lucky enough to be sponsored by several other top companies in the industry as well, including: Thunder Power RC, Byron Fuel’s, and Futaba.
