My passion lies in exploring the frontiers of unmanned aviation while upholding an unwavering commitment to model aircraft. I bring a lifelong dedication to pushing the limits and fostering continuous innovation and improvement in the realm of RC aerobatics. My journey is fueled by an insatiable drive for elevating my sport performance, embracing challenges and consistently seeking ways to enhance it.
Mechanical Engineer specialized in unmanned aviation and a disruptive entrepreneur at https://i-avanzada.com/. With over four decades of experience, I've been designing, building, and flying model airplanes since 1978, venturing into radio control (R/C) model aircraft in1983.
As a seasoned sportsman, I hold multiple national championships in R/C aerobatics for airplanes and helicopters. I've showcased my skills at prestigious events like the F3A World Championships in Argentina (2007), United States (2011), South Africa (2013), and Switzerland (2015), alongside participation in the US Nationals 2011 and the Pan American F3A Open as a finalist and semifinalist. Previously, I was a former team member of JR Americas.
