About me

My name is Laurentius Lochner, and I am from George in South Africa. As a small child I always had a huge interest in anything that flies. When I was about 16 years old, I started to fly radio controlled fixed wing planes. I did that for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

When I turned 18, I started with my Private Pilot’s License. At 20 years old I finished my Commercial Pilot’s License with Instrument Rating. I flew commercially for a couple of years, but stopped due to the lack of opportunities in South Africa, and it is just to expensive to fly on my own expense.

I started flying radio controlled helicopters about two years ago with great satisfaction. I like new and difficult challenges, so that’s why R/C helicopters was the way to go. I’m no expert on R/C helicopters, but I would like to share my knowledge with you so that you can enjoy the hobby like I do. I hope my website will be helpful to all T-Rex helicopter pilots.
