Welcome To Steven Wong's R/C Homepage

Just a little about myself. 

Started R/C flying in 2001 with the help of very good friends as well as being my Sifu's Lim Seng Hwee and Herbert Yeo, I am forever indebted to these 2 fine gentlemen who gave their time on weekends to coach me to fly and gave great plane-building tips. My first plane was the Thunder Tiger 25 High-wing Trainer, good flying characteristics and extremely frugal on fuel consumption. It is extremely important to get someone who have many years of flying experience to mentor you during the begining stage, that way, you will improve your flying skills quickly. I did my first solo take-off and landing flight in about 3 months and never looked back since. It has been a satisfying journey for me in this hobby, as years go by, the planes got bigger and bigger! Haha!

It was during 2004 i started to design and scratch-build my own planes, foam was and still is a fantastic material to make planes, easy to fabricate and glue and also extremely affordable. I've scratch-built 3 foamies thus far (F15, Cozy n Velociraptor) and all of them taught me a lot about construction techniques. Biggest thanks and complements to Steve Shumate (Jetset44 of Rcgroups forum), without his inspirations, i would not be able to come out with the Cozy and Velociraptor projects as both used a lot of his build and construction techniques.

Then i got into nitro twin engined planes, my "VQ" A-26 Invader was such an intoxicating twin to fly around, not a slow cow i tell you, it can outpace any single-engined plane! LOL! Eventually and reluctantly i had to sell it to fund for my 1st turbine F15 jet in 2005.

I have since moved on to save enough $$$, self paint it and installed my 2nd turbine-powered jet, an F/A-18F Super Hornet by SkyMasterJet. Standing 2.4 meters tall, this is a huge aircraft! She has since maiden'd on the 31st of May 2009.

I also started to learn to fly nitro helicopters from 2002 onwards, i have to give credit to my good friend and buddy Rajoo (Mechplas) for teaching me the ropes of heli building/flying/maintenance. Without his help i wouldn't have stepped into helis in the first place.

All in all, my former years of playing with airbrush helped me to create very scale-looking and weathered aircrafts now, and also learning how to shoot and edit videos really helped to bring out the lively flights of the aircrafts in the videos i created, and with music thrown in, what can i say? just pure SHIOKness and FUN!!! Aiyo this hobby is really so FUN! So many things to learn and do! One thing i always tell myself, "If you think you want to achieve something, set your heart to do it and never give up! My Motto - Learn! Absorb! Learn!" There's a chinese saying..."Huo Dao Lao Shue Dao Lao" it means as you age, never stop learning new things!  :)
