A VISIT TO FLEX
INNOVATIONS
By Jay Smith, Executive Editor | jays@modelaircraft.org
WHILE I WAS IN FLORIDA visiting my parents, I took Quique Somenzini up on his offer to visit the Flex Innovations headquarters, located in Venice, Florida. As a child, I visited the beaches at Venice, which are known to be great places to find shark’s teeth that wash up on the beach. The city has grown significantly since my last visit.
Arriving at Flex Innovations, I was met by Quique and Josh Schiff. It was great to catch up with them as they provided me with a tour. I was even shown a couple of new products under development that are quite exciting, but I can’t share more than that at this point.
Quique, Josh, and I talked at length about the hobby, the company, and its desire to continue to raise the bar on putting out aircraft that are extensively tested and fine-tuned. Having just returned from Joe Nall Week, where they sold a lot of aircraft, they were waiting for a shipment of the Twin Otter Night Version to provide for review.
As a U.S. Army veteran, the Twin Otter really caught my attention with its Army markings and colors. Look for a review in a future issue of the magazine. A big thank-you to Quique and Josh for spending part of their day with me at the Flex Innovations headquarters.
