My name is Donatas Paužuolis, im 26 year old student from Vilnius,Lithuania. My hobby and biggest passion is Radio Control aerobatic models, when i was 11 year old i started flying with my first 2 channel RC glider, since then many great models flown, many great people meet. Here i will show my way in RC;
I guess i have this love for aviation from my dad Rimas. 
Rimas is modeler for more than 40 years, he was coach for Lithuania control line F2B (Air combat) team, and in 1980 took third place and in 1981 took first place in all soviet union , that was huge gain for him and Lithuania. I start flying RC in 1996, when i was 11 year old, unfortunately i don't have any pictures from these early moments. Artistic Aerobatic, F3A and F3P right now is what i like most! My purpose now is to fly in different competitions representing Lithuania, showing best result i can, having good time and finding new friends and sponsors from all over the world. One of the great qualities of flying model aircraft is that the hobby can take you all around the world and often to places that you would not visit if you weren't flying. There are other hobbies I suppose that involve an element of travel, if you play PartyPoker you could end up in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo and even small football clubs make European tours, but flying often takes you out into the countryside and a bit more off the beaten track. Thanks to aeromodeling in last few years i was fortunate enought to visit: USA, China, Czech Republic, Russia, France, Great Britain, Ukraine, Belarus, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Slovakia, Belgium, Poland and Italy, and my trip in this wonderfull hobby continue.
