Hey everyone!

First of all i just want to thank everyone at 3DRCF for this opportunity and all the support!


My name is Joe Villavicencio but my friends call me Hone, I'm 23 and love RC! I started flying in October of 2011. It all started after going to my local hobby shop to pick up some parts for my RC car. They didn't have what i needed so i grabbed a Hobbyzone Champ instead and was on my way. I was hooked after the first flight and was back at the hobby shop the next week to get another plane.


After a few months flying sport and going through just about every Ultra Micro BNF plane there is i became interested in 3D and picked up a 32'' Sbach from Twisted Hobbys. That plane was the first to hold my attention for more than a week so i knew i found the type of flying i enjoyed and I began spending every free minute i had learning the basics of 3D. Soon i had sold anything that couldn't hover and filled my hangar with 3D planes.


Recently i've become more interested in XA(extreme aerobatics)and IMAC style flying mixed in with the low and slow 3D. This year i plan on trying my hand at some IMAC competitions with my 78'' EF Extra. The first competition i plan to attend will be in Salinas,CA in April. Hopefully i'll also be able to make it to a few events!


See you guys/gals at the field!

Fly LOW!,

+1! Truly a class-act, very helpful, humble, and friendly. Exactly how a Team pilot should be! :pompom:
