About me

Who Am I

My name is Donatas Paužuolis, I live in Vilnius, Lithuania. My hobby and biggest passion is radio controlled aerobatic models.

I’ve started flying my first 2 channel radio controlled glider and full scale training glider for kids LAK-16m when I turned 11 (in 1995). These initial steps were encouraged by my father Rimutis Paužuolis – a great modeller with more than 45 years’ experience.

Rimutis Paužuolis was coaching Lithuanian control line F2B (air combat) team during the early days of his carrier. This team took third place (in 1980) and first place (in 1981) in the competitions where the best sportsmen from the whole Soviet Union took part in. It was a huge achievement for my father and for Lithuania. Rimutis shared his knowledge with me and spent a lot of time teaching me how to build and fly models. I am still learning from him every day.


Amazing places

Thanks to the wonderful aeromodelling hobby I had a chance to visit many amazing countries.

I’ve calculate 23 different countries: the USA, the UAE, China, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Czech Republic, Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, The Netherlands, Poland, Estonia, Latvia , Hungary, Slovakia and Austria. And the list is still growing! I am always looking forward for the new trips, adventures related to RC world.


Incredible people

One of the biggest qualities of model aircraft flying is that this hobby can take you to many different places you would have never visited as a regular person.

For me, personally, the best part of the modelling related travelling is a chance to meet amazing people from all over the world. Here are just a few of them. I am very lucky that life brought us together, I am happy to be able to call them friends. If you see them on the flying field – stop to say hello and I am sure you will have a great conversation and make a new friend!
