Sam Schwartz may be one of the youngest members of the Georgia Model Aviators, but that doesn’t make his love for the miniature aircraft less than that of his older counterparts. The 13-year-old from Johns Creek, who has been a member of the group for a couple of years, works particularly closely with Forsyth resident David Roberts, who took him under his wing, no pun intended. “When he first wanted to fly, his dad called me up and I came out and met him and told him to get the right plane and everything because I was going to teach him to fly,” Roberts said.
