Willi Gabriel

Biography/personal description:

I'm from Ireland where I build and fly RC aircraft.  At the moment I'm flying a 1/6 scale Fokker D.VII in the colours of Willi Gabrieal of Jasta 11.

I like almost anything that has to do with WWI fighters.  I try to get out to fly as much as possible.

This is the first time I will be flying online and hope to last as long as I can .

I have been interested in planes for as long as I can remember and don't think I can give them up.
