Information:

Hello, my name is Bob Wales. I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer, but my passion has been R/C since 1988. In 1996 I bought my first R/C Helicopter, the “original” Hawk from Century Helicopter Products. Since then, I have switched to R/C helicopters exclusively. In the past 7 years I have built, setup, and flown just about every Nitro-powered “Pod and Boom” type helicopter Century has made, ranging from the original “Hawk” to the current “Predator”.
Currently I live in the greater Sacramento Area, and work part time in a local hobby shop helping customers with their helicopter needs. I really enjoy this because it allows me to promote our great hobby, as well as to experience all different types of helicopter, radio, and gyro combinations. In Addition to working in a hobby shop, I have had the great fortune of working at Century Helicopter Products designing some upgrade parts for their product line of helicopters, as well as helping their customers.
When I’m out flying, I make a point to be available for first time pilots, to help them with setup and to test fly their new helicopters. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will be glad to help you with your helicopter needs.

Thanks to Century for allowing me to be a part of their great company! Happy Flying All
