Here is our January Winner:

Jason Spinks with his Avios Grand Tundra

Where are you from and what's the story behind the photo?

I am based on the Isle of Lewis, a small island off the northwest coast of Scotland. We have spectacular scenery, but the weather can be harsh - making our flying sessions unpredictable. Being close to the sea we rarely have snow that settles for long so when we do get some, it's a quick rush to the flying field to use the skis! The Grand Tundra is the perfect model for this and is always the first choice for rugged operations.

What is your favorite RC model and why?

It's very difficult to pick a favorite model as it depends on which style of flying I want to do -scale/sport/aerobatic/racing etc. However, the Grand Tundra is an all-rounder which makes sure it always goes to the field. I love how it can do so many things, I fly it on floats, wheels, and skis! The performance can change from scale-like on 4s to mad performance and aerobatics on 6s! And to top it all it looks great and I even drop paratroopers and tow gliders on occasion.

What is the best part of being an RC pilot and why?

For me, the best thing about being an RC pilot is getting out there and having fun with friends. There are always a lot of laughs as we enjoy the hobby together, especially a funny crash! It's great to be out there in the open and share achievements like a great maiden or that awesome inverted pass! The hobby is so varied I can't imagine ever getting bored with it!
