Jose Rios (Spain)
Jets & Props
Read here what Jose writes about himself: "I was born in 1958. I was very young and I was interested in model planes. My beginning was with control line planes. I was studing electronic specialist until 19 years old. I started Electronic engineer career but not finished because I had got a good job, after military service, in 1981 in a plant of IBM, with peripherics. I was working during 11 months in France with Mainframes and it was there where I bought my first RC equipment. When I was returned to Spain, I began to build powered airplanes and I was flying pattern F3A also during 2 years. After that, I was racing with pylon planes F3D class also 2 years. I began to write for Model RC magazines in 1990. In 1991 I left IBM plant and I started to work as Technical representative ( Customer Engineer ), also for IBM. I was in contact with French pilots in a meeting called Freestyle Masters, and I started to fly big planes, first 2 meters wingspan and after 2.40 and 2.60 meters. Now I use fly just for enjoyment, but I use write for events like International Fairs and Big Models Championships. I worked with moulds, fiberglass and carbon, epoxy and all that last 5 years. I did more than 50 planes for people in Spain. I have built several big planes, like DC3 from FiberClassics, several Composite planes, etc. Three years ago I managed an Encliclopediae of airmodelling. Almost a 50% of it I wrote myself I have got 3 main planes that I fly regularly, they are a Raven 245 cms. from Engel Modellbau, an Extra 230 cms. wingspan from Composite and a Yak 260 cms. from Composite. I am finishing a 2X2 Extra from Composite."
