For
over thirty years Perry Lee has had a passion for flying remote-controlled
aircraft. In 2001, Perry turned that passion into a business and
AeroMicro was born. Supplying his local flying buddies with props,
batteries, servos, kits and supplies from the trunk of his car and
website, Perry
had found his niche. The small but growing electric R/C market seemed
to really get some traction in 2003 when Perry leased a 1700 square
foot store in Cupertino. Only a very small portion of this space
was dedicated to serving the walk-in customer as the bulk of AeroMicro's
business was generated by Internet sales. The store hours were limited
and the space was small and at times the customers stood shoulder
to shoulder in the tiny showroom.
Perry's
reputation for catering specifically to the needs of the electric
R/C aircraft enthusiast, coupled with his knowledge of the ever
changing technology in this area, had garnered AeroMicro a growing
clientele. In 2006, AeroMicro was relocated to a 5000 square foot
building in Santa Clara. This spacious showroom now displays an
impressive array of R/C products and supplies. Awarded "Best
place for really small planes" by Metro in their Best
of Silicon Valley 2007 edition, AeroMicro was recognized for
their dedication to R/C aircraft and having a friendly and knowledgable
staff.
It's
staff members like Don McCullough that help customers understand
the bewildering number of options and choices one makes in this
hobby. Don, a veteran R/C pilot and modeler, started flying planes
in 1961. He can be found eagerly sharing his knowledge and helping
customers on a daily basis at AeroMicro. Whether it's Don, Perry,
David or Norio behind the counter, it's obvious that the staff at
AeroMicro is there to help customers find exactly what they need
to keep or get their aircraft flying.
