Ben Alderman discovered his passion for radio controlled aircraft fifteen years ago, and what started as a weekend hobby has evolved into both a lifelong obsession and a thriving business. With an impressive collection of RC airplanes and cutting-edge drones, Ben has mastered the art of flight in miniature form.
His expertise extends from classic balsa wood trainers to sophisticated multi-rotor aircraft equipped with professional-grade cameras. What began as simple recreational flying has transformed into a specialized skill set that combines his love of aviation with advanced photography and videography techniques.
Today, Ben operates a successful aerial photography business that serves real estate agents throughout the region, capturing stunning interior and exterior shots that showcase properties from perspectives impossible to achieve with traditional photography. When he’s not piloting drones for commercial shoots, you’ll find Ben at the local flying field with his three children, passing on his knowledge and enthusiasm for the hobby.
Teaching his kids about aerodynamics, electronics, and the patience required for precision flying has become one of his greatest joys, ensuring that the next generation will carry forward the wonder of radio controlled flight. Ben believes that RC flying offers invaluable lessons in engineering, problem-solving, and perseverance that extend far beyond the hobby itself.
