Welcome to Greg Covey's R/C Web Hangar



For over a decade now I have been addicted to flying electric powered R/C airplanes. It's the most fun I've had in a long time and I get a lot of satisfaction from the hobby. The attraction of flying electric-only ships (as opposed to glow, gas, or turbine engines) probably comes from my Electrical Engineering background. I fly only clean and quiet electric-powered aircraft.

I am currently moderating the Electric Aircraft Universe forums on RC Universe. Please feel free to post any question you may have about electric flight or just stop by to read some of the great information and articles already there.
