Default Howdy from KY

Nice sight you have here - I'm fairly new to the hobby but do have a 77" CG Yak54, my third glow model, ready to go for its maiden when the weather permits. Maybe not a giant but big to me. Running an OS 1.60. It has a little brother, a GP Cap580 with an OS.61fx. Not to mention a bunch of foam-based electric cousins. Look forward to learning from you guys. That groundschool trailer video rocks!

E28M5..
Welcome to the giants mate. As I'm sure you've already found out we have lots to see and do plus a ton to share.

Giants in no way was ever intended to mean giant scale by the way. It was chosen to represent the enormity of the site. We cover everything that flies. Foamies, trainers, electrics, IMAC, pattern, pylon, unlimited racing and of course 3D.

If you have any questions at all related to RC flying you will find an answer here. And yes if you ask about hotliners or gliders you going to find someone who has wealth of knowledge to share with you in that field as well.

Great to have you on board and trust you enjoy yourself.

Kiwi
