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

Hi there Leccy, great to have you aboard, these Pommies are a bit funny, but you get used to it after a while!

lets have lots of build blogs and flying reports to fill our humdrum lives please.

Welcome, Leccy.

Hello from me also. Take your time & have a good look around the place..... We are a crowd of nutters but we have a laugh. :lol:
Hope to see you in Live Chat.

G'day fellas - had to put my oar in here in defence of all good clean living NITRO flyers/builders and other assorted geniuses. Leccy is a mate of mine and a bloody nice bloke - he's all of 84 years of age and that alone deserves congratulations. As he noted he's still learning and dabbles mainly with ARF and electric - I hope to convert him to the tender art of building and proper motive power one of these days. I'm still teaching him to get his head around posting on forums and asking and answering questions - so give the bloke a break - be kind to him - he really is a top fella.

:ohmy: OOOH, I can see that sparks are going to fly!!! :whistle:

Sparks??? It must be those bloody electric fellas then. When one uses proper NITRO power the only thing that flies is the model. With of course the good clean smell of burning nitro fuel. Ha, ha, (evil laugh) ha!!

I want a hobby!!! So have brought a Balsa wood kit from Guillows, Just a small one to start off and see if this is for me, Sure I will be back for advice, Thanks,

ps Am retired.

Hi john boy first rule Measure twice cut once,2nd dont do what I did and build to right sides welcome and good luck with the build Regards Stephen

Thanks Stephen ,
Me thinks I should join a club? I am in Leicester I see someone from Grantham is on here, I was born there many moons ago, Regards.

A club is a definite advantage and you usually get a lot of help and good chin wag.Are you going to fly electric or IC?

Hi Johnboy, and welcome to the friendly forum.

You say you want a hobby, think about this one very carefully as it becomes a way of life, not a hobby, ask me how I know:)

I am the one who lives near Grantham, about 7 miles on the Nottingham side A 52. That should pin point it. Just come back from a flying session.
