Hi, My name is Robert,I have been an aero modeler since I was a boy.My Dad started me he is now 85 and still building and flying rc,free flight,rubber powered and generaly anything that flys. I am doing the same,but I love all this new electric gear. Any new airplane,heli,or whatever I investigate and if the price is right I usually try one. This is a great hobby and I love it,I beleive my Fathers good health and long life is mainly due to our hobby,it keeps the mind active and involves some exercise. I found this forum while on the net looking for info about the VIPER SHARK ducted fan. I am a member of quite a few forums,Rc Groups,Rc Universe,Small Rc,and now this one. It is a great way to keep up with what is going on and find out anything we need to know. I live in a small town in North Queensland Australia called Ingham.We can fly most of the year. I was a member of a club in Townsville for many years but the fees became too expensive,and I was only going there once or twice a year.(About 150k south of me) With electrics I do most of my flying in front of our home. Thanks to the forum people and keep up the good work. Regards, Robert.(Twiggy) ![]() Ps I am 60 years young and on a pension. Love this hobby. |
