I've met Alan a number of times and competed against him at the AMA Nat's in
Muncie, IN. the past couple of years. He's actually a very down to earth
young man. Certainly, he's had a lot of help from his parents but he's also
worked hard to develop the skill needed to do what he does and I'm certain
that manufacturer sponsorship is also involed.

Fly Safe,

I'd be willing to bet money he's got some serious manufacturer (model
and radio) sponsorship.
