Jay grew up being involved in hobbies and worked in his father’s hobby shop. He has competitively raced RC boats and cars, and at one point was sponsored by Bolink. A Cox PT-19 was his first introduction to Control Line flying and a Carl Goldberg Eagle II had him flying RC aircraft by age seven.
Jay has a fascination for all things that fly and has participated in most aeromodeling disciplines. He is the Editor-in-Chief of
Model Aviation
, Executive Editor of Sport Aviator, and a columnist for Park Pilot. He also contributes to RCGroups and
