Default Oh no another bloney newbie...

Hello all.

I'm a newbie to RC planes (I'm proud of it too and loving every minute of it!).

In the hangar (aka - the garden shed) i have a few heli's, these include:
AlIGN T-Rex 450
Walkera Dragonfly (my first)
RC Systems 3d Copter Pro
AlIGN T-REX 600 CFe (just built, electrics installed but still needs setting up)

My first plane is a Cermark Edge 540 with a spe-40cc. I bought this off ebay knowing absolutely nowt about planes, surely to be a big mistake I know but you gotta start somewhere and only time will tell. For now, my mind-set is to get it built up, set-up and flown. I know it's gonna be a mission, but you lot seem like a freindly and helpfull bunch so with your help (and lots of SIM time) I hope to get my RC wings without too much greif...

Other Interests include:
Shooting
Fishing
Spear Fishing
Motorsport
Curry
Beer

Right must go, i gotta plane to build and my beer's getting warm .....

Tanky

Cheers Cracky

Ha ha nice one mate...

One in a million? Yes yes absolutely! The H.P.O [Hobbie Permission Officer] is one in a trillion infact, she flies heli's too and is a much better pilot then myself (she might be peeping over my shoulders while I type).

We live in corporate accommodation through my employer, which means I can afford to crash alot.

Welcome. I think your other interests need to have the order changed a little. Move the last one to the top.
