Bio: My name is Chris Avellino and have been flying IMAC for the last couple of years and enjoying every second of it and all the friends I've made along the way.

Most people know me as the short guy who always wears a black DA t-shirt and hat. Why? Cause black is my favorite color, I get to represent our sport, share the best company, motors and customer service (this is not a paid advertisement) and it's way easier to figure out my daily wardrobe.

I've loved aviation my entire life from the mobile over my crib, to the airplane wallpaper in my room, getting my private and instrument pilot license. A serious accident left me pretty much unable to walk for about 6 months (only to travel to work and home) and as a result found model airplane flying where I was able to get out to a site and start flying gliders. That led to the now and this movement, and am forever grateful for the people who have supported me along this journey, the friends I've made, and a forevermore pay-it-forward mentality.

I would be remiss to say none of this could have happened without my wonderful and supportive wife who has given me my wings in more ways than one

And finally, ice is cool
