Default Hello from Oklahoma!

Hello, I'm Steve from Broken Arrow, OK, just outside Tulsa. I'm somewhat new to the hobby, I've been flying at home with several parkzone planes for a couple of years now. About two months ago I bought a Brio 10 and joined the Tulsa Gluedobbers Club. Since then I've bought a little bit larger electric P-51 also. After going and watching the flying at the "Heatwave in the Heartland" Jumbo Fly-in last weekend I'm really intersted in giant scale. Now I'm trying to learn all I can about these big planes and this looked like a good place to do that. I really like some of the 30% Extras with a 50cc engine, so that's what I'll be focusing on. Hope to be able to convince my wife I need a big plane and maybe I can appropriate some of our tax return to fund it, then attend the Jumbo next year as a pilot! That's my plan anyway

Cool! Welcome to the Giants! If you haven't figured it out already, this is the premier RC website for 3d, and aerobatics from foamies to giant scale with a healthy dose of every other type of RC and tons of fun. Check out the member video and picture galleries where you can upload any vid from you flying anything, to Max 's tainted love.

Have a blast!

Hey Steve,

It's great to have you here!!

Exactly what the guys already said, can't add much to that. Browse around, there's a ton of stuff to see and read, but, take your time, you don't want to miss anything

Welcome to the Giants!!!

Steve,
Glad you were inspired by the Heatwave, the premier event in the Midwest!!!(shameless plug). We would like to have you as a pilot next year for sure. Don't hesitate to ask if I can be any help with the "extra" search.
Tim

Thanks for all the welcomes! Haha good one MadMax, luckily I'm blessed with a great wife who let's me have my hobbies.....even though she may not understand them at times.

Thanks Tim, I'll definately be at the Heatwave next year, it was awesome. Even if I don't make it as a pilot I'll sign up to help, will be great to be a part of such a great event.
