Hello, I’m Mario I. Arguello
I have been successfully designing, manufacturing and selling
my own line of RC Hobby Products,
-
under MIA Micro-FLIGHT™,MIA Designs™, for over 15 years.
-
I've always been interested in scale models
of all sorts and tinkering,
with anything I could get
-
my hands on. RC aircraft
models, in general,
were a natural progression from RC cars and Boats,
-
as a hobby, in my early teen age years, and
it became a serious personal passion, as I got older
-
and after wanting radio control models, not
available, at the time.
-
-
The "RC Micro Heli" and "RC
Trike-Microlight" are two of these unique RC models,
-
MIA Innovations that are part of MIA
Micro-FLIGHT and RC Modeling history and
- actual
products that got many others thinking along the same paths, in later
years.
- I developed
the "electric"
RC
Micro Heli so to have a viable
and safe means of training with and flying
- an RC
helicopter in the comfort of home, backyard, or local park, when none
of similar size (20" rotor)
- and weight
(under 5 oz) were available at the time.
- I developed
the
RC Trike-Microlight so to have a
more realistic and serious (in scale) RC model option to the more
- common
Rogallo delta kite-like weight shift "RC Hanglider Toys" which have
been produced by other companies.
-
To keep it short, I had tried some other RC
products, from various companies, as well,
but they all seemed to lack something to my satisfaction. So I started
with the goal
of making my own RC products, in kit form and offering these to the
public.
-
-
Out of many of MIA Micro-Flight's early
product designs, also surfaced many of the MIA Upgrades
-
we made and still sell to this day to
improve the performance, durability and aesthetics of other products.
My passion also for designing and manufacturing has been a natural thing
for me
and very handy in establishing MIA Micro-FLIGHT™.
Five things important to
me when it comes to RC model products:
Uniqueness
Performance
Durability
Realism
Cool factor
Characteristics which have become MIA's
pillars on which every product I design is built upon.
