Remote Controlled Flying Machines:

                  I first got excite in this hobby when I was in the 7th grade.  My first flying machine was a free flight airplane that was made from a TV protection foam box, and it was powered by rubber bands.  After the first successful flight, I attempted to build many bigger and stronger airplanes, and some of them was made from aluminum and powered by rocket engines (you should not try this without any adult supervision).  I realized that any flying machine should be completely controlled by people, so I decided to get into the remote controlled (RC) airplane world.  The RC world is totally different with the free-flight world.  The RC airplane is heavier, more powerful, and need to be guided.  I crashed built my first RC airplane with the styrofoam and powered by a Cox 0.049 cu.in. nitro engine.  A four-channel radio from Futaba was used to control the airplane.  Without help from any retired pilot, I flew my first nitro-powered airplane for a few second, and I ended with a mess of an airplane crashing.   With all of my passion and a strong encouraging of my grandfather, I built another one with more powerful engine from Fox.  After many attempting of takeoffs, my RC airplane was finally stable in the air and roaring the blue sky with my control.

                    Today, I can proudly say that I can build and fly the most complicate machine you ever thought of, and that is the RC single wing airplane, and the RC helicopter.  I have more than ten models in my little world in Waco, and each of these models that I built can perform many especial patterns that have never seen in any contests.

        Electronics and Projects:

               My uncle was a military electronic technician, he had shown and taught me many useful lessons in electronic field when I was in junior high.  My first project was a simple radio receiver with a diode and a ear piece of the telephone hand set.  This simple radio can receive many local radio stations at the same time, but their voices mixed together and very hard to distinguish the speech of any talk show.  I decided to learn more by self reading technical book, and finally created an perfect (to me at that time) tuning radio receiver with only a few easy to find components.

                When I attended Baylor University, I worked in the EE laboratory.  I had won many contests of the EE department such as Football Projectile Contest, Precisely Dropping Contest, Singles Machines, etc., and many scholarships at Baylor University base on my challenging ideas and high GPA.  I had awarded a small room in the EE-department to use as my own laboratory.  I had successful created many projects during that time such Clock Machine, Digital Clock Using 555-chip, Single Transistor FM Transmitter, Rain Detector, Light Detector, Infared Transceiver, etc.

                Beside the building project using hardware parts, I also write many project using C++ and Visual Basic to interface and controlled with computer such as Volume Comtrol Using Visual Basic or C++, Computerized Relays, and Channel Selection Using Visual Basic.
