About Us
- Marcela and Dieter, ShredAir
- We are Dieter Mahlein from Germany and Marcela Leal from Colombia. Our company ShredAir, Inc. is dedicated to radio-controlled (RC) flight. We started ShredAir in Oregon, USA, importing mostly slope and electric gliders from Europe. ShredAir became an international company, supplying products, service, and support to RC pilots just about anywhere. We have organized and participated in events in the US, Germany, and Colombia. In 2008, we drove from Oregon to Colombia where we wanted to promote RC flying in the Andes Mountains through fun fly gatherings, slope soaring and electric flying events. This we did, but our idea of offering complete tourism packages for pilots and their families never did work out as we envisioned. Now, while we’re in South America and because we can, we continue traveling south along the Andes following the air trails of the Andean Condor.
