Retired Commercial Pilot and RC Aeromodeling Instructor. Expert in balsa construction, aerodynamics, and the transition from static display models to flying radio-controlled aircraft.
Captain David Miller brings real-world flight experience to the workbench. Specializing in the functional side of the hobby, he teaches static modelers how to take to the skies. His expertise covers working with balsa wood, selecting electronics, and understanding the center of gravity and control surfaces essential for flight. David writes for builders who want to understand why a plane flies, not just how it looks. He covers the bridge between detailed static aesthetics and the rugged structural requirements of RC flying, ensuring beginners don't crash their first scratch-built project.
