Default Howdy Y'all from Kentucky

I joined this forum today, and thought that I'd introduce myself.

I've been in the hobby a little over a year and fly glow mainly, but I do have a few electric planes and helis. I like the 'scale' side of the hobby and have a soft spot for warbirds and vintage planes.

I'm currently working on a 1/5 scale J-3 Cub that I'm modding into a vintage bush plane. I mainly build ARFs because of time constraints, but I have been known to make alot of mods as I go just so I can end up with something different.

Enough about me. I look forward to getting aquainted with folks around here and I hope that y'all have a great New Year.

Cheers! BH

Welcome to FG. Sorry but we're not being rude. ...it's just that most everybody is on Holiday. Not alot of people online now. Don't worry though, it will definitely pick back up. Where's Corbin,...is that anywhere near Elizabethtown?

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, Corbin is south of London or about 75 miles south of Lexington.

Rad: No problem. Where do you fly at in Louisville?

Pitviper: I followed your link to hcrcm. Looks like you have a nice club to fly with. I'll keep an eye on your events. I try to go to the 'local' fly-ins.

Dan nO: You get an "A" in geography. I see that you're sponsored by Speeders. His new place has got more room for sure. I stop in there every time I get to the 'big city'. I need to head that way soon, I've got a gift cert. that's burning a hole in my pocket, LOL! I also try to stop in at Lew's while I'm up that way.

BSM: I'll make nice and just give ya a hug. Shame on them for picking on you, LOL.

Cheers! BH

BH, I don't fly in Louisville,...I'm the Secretary of the club in E-town (HCRCM) And since you like to fly 'local' , it just so happens we're having a "Numb Thumbs" fun fly at our field in E-town on Jan 1. Will have hot coffee, cocoa, and food as long as it lasts. Kids and better halfs welcome. Bring chairs and blankets if you want (We're kinda short on chairs but we will have heaters set up.) and it's an open invitation to anyone that wants to come out! No landing fee, but to fly, our only requirement is a current ('07 or '08) AMA card. (No exceptions on this one.) So come on out and have a blast!!!!!!!!!!
