Default Hello everyone! New member here

Hello guys and gals, I just found this awesome site today. I found a link on Fromeco's website, and clicked on it, and WOW! I can't wait to start browsing around. A little about me. I am 30 years old and have been flying on and off since the age of 9 when I got my first trainer plane for Christmas. I have recently purchased a hobby shop in Jonesboro, Arkansas called RC Hobbies. I am now lucky enough to be doing something that I love for a living for the first time in my life and I am very thankful for that. I have also recently acquired my first giant scale plane (a Comp ARF 2.6m Extra 330) and I am now officially hooked on giant scale aerobatic planes! Financially, the first time I flew my Extra was a bad thing, because from that point on, smaller planes just aren't going to cut it anymore!lol If any of you are ever in or near Jonesboro, Arkansas, I would love it if you would stop by the shop to say hello! I look forward to the wealth of info on the boards and to hopefully meeting some new friends!

Zach

Now, this is really quite simple ,ok? Understeer works like this: you drive down the road , turn the wheel, but the car goes straight on, crashes into a tree and you die. OVERsteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel, but the back of the car comes round like this, and you go off the road, crash into a tree and you die. Now, oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you

Hey Zach, welcome to FG, nice choice on the Compy. I've got the same exact plane you've got. Awesome plane!! Mines in the fantasy scheme. You ever get stumped on anything, post it on here, you will get answers, sometimes you might have to weed out the wrong ones, but overall, with everyone chiming in, you'll figure it out. Goodluck with the hobby shop, post some pics! Steve.

STLAV8R, after seeing your Avatar, I didn't read one word you said! Seriously though, you never know, I might hook a brother up with a little discount if I'm in the right mood! lol

classclown, I love the Compy so far. I am not in love with the current scheme, so I will be refinishing it this winter and I'll post pics. I already have my sights set on my next "Giant". The TOC 35% Yak in the blue thunder scheme. Those colors match my store logo, so it is only fitting. I read great things about it .I think I will set it up to be my 3D plane and do more IMAC type flying with the Compy.

I'm overwhelmed at the warm welcome I've recieved so far on FG and look forward to continuing to learn from the wealth of knowledge available here.
