Hi All. I'm Tony and I've been into building and flying model planes for a very

Here you can post a brief or descriptive introduction about yourself.
It is not compulsory but some members like to know a little about the person they're talking to.

I'm another escapee from 't'other place. If you knew me (in the non-biblical sense) there, you know what to expect. I'm a know it nearly all who can be asked almost anything. But it doesn't mean I'll answer!!
If you don't know me - then be prepared for the worst, because I've been warned off a few times for putting my boot in before thinking, by the mods on the other one.
I'm old enough to know better, and old enough not to care!
If I put a reply to something that you take offense to, read what you actually wrote again first, as it is probably meant as a piss-take of a typo or bad grammar, not an insult!
I'm ex Royal Navy, ex scuba diver, ex truck driver, and now watch the clock going around, while watching a conveyor belt going around, and pretend to work, until I can say sod it, and get paid to stay at home. (or go flying!)
I'm also a published (well, nearly) fiction author, and if I'm allowed to 'plug' my work on here, I will do (Phil??)
I've flown power models, slopers, thermal, and am working up the steep slope (pun?) of electrickery.
I'm also a radio ham, and was trying to get a chat freq/meet going, with little success so far.
What else? I've survived prostate cancer, and so far seem to be free of it. If you want to know about that - ask!
My wife of 25 years is very ill, and on 'borrowed time'. Again if you want to know - ask, I might tell all.
You can also look at my blog at - 2e0dtoeric.livejournal.com - if you really want to!
I've found that the direct link doesn't work, but if you copy and paste into your browser, it does!

Phil said I can, so here's the plug I warned you about - you can find my books on amazon.com (not co.uk!!!) the stumbling block is that the carriage costs from California to here are roughly three times the cost of the book! so sales have been - shall we say - a little slow! You can take a peek inside for free, if you feel the need! www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=sear...=UTF8&qid=1296942661 is the chain you need to find me. There are eight books there so far, and four more lurking in the corner. Go on - blow the budget and buy a copy, so I can glean a few cents in royalties!

Eric, I love your introduction. Plugging your work on here will be fine. Your blog reminded me of maybe a feature I could install. Look forward to working with all of you.

I'm a Pommy in South Africa, supposed to be retired, Jacob Zuma and his cronies nicked my Pension. Came to RC late in life and am one of the 'how hard can it be' brigade. My Missus and I live on, and run a Game Reserve, I hasten to add, we only own a little bit of it. Like Kiwi I'm a petrol head, but love anything mechanical, preferably I like things that go bang, either occasionally or lots of times when you put fuel in.

I hope it is not quite as chaotic as the one depicted in 'Wild at Heart', on our tellies at the weekend!
