Hello from Gloucester

Welcome to the madhouse, Janine!
You have to be mad to take up this crazy hobby, and you have taken it up at a bad time, really, not only because of the time of year, but because of all the silly rules and reg's being forced onto us by government bodies - in the false name of safety, and from their knowledge base of zero on the subject!
If you look around the site, you will find one identified as "Introduce yourself". (self explanatory!). Don't give away any personal details such as your home address, phone number, etc.
Have a good look around at the varied threads, and you might find that some of the questions you haven't thought of yet - get answered!
There aren't very many of us in this group, but we are (sort of) worldwide, albeit mostly british. We used to have members from New Zealand and the U.S. but they dropped off a few years ago. Tony (Klippy) is in South Africa. A few of us are in the Cheshire and Wirral area (I'm in Warrington), and there are a couple of other northerners, one is up towards Geordieland, and another has recently moved to Wales.
There is also a private message option, should you wish to use it.
You can add photographs if you choose, but it's a bit clumsy until you get to know how it works. You'll find a guide to that on here, as well, if you hunt for it.

There are a very few rules - basically don't be rude, abusive, etc. We are NOT controlled by "big business" who dictate what can or can not be said, as are some other sites, where you are expected to buy and read their magazine to get the complete story about something. So if you think someone or something is a pile of tosh, on here you can say so!

Have fun!



 

Welcome from me, there's no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb answers!
Swearing is also allowed if you can't find the right word.
I have missed having the fairer sex on here, it keeps the guys in line.

Sometimes the only 'right word' IS an expletive!

Piper Cubs are usually pretty docile, but I can't see anything on the ad that says how big it is.
Just bear in mind that smaller models are much more responsive to control inputs AND get very small very quickly!
Judging by the size of the included transmitter, it appears to be about 1 metre wingspan.
(and if it has lights, they are the wrong way around, left should be red, and right should be green!)

And getting warm again after - takes longer!
