Another Florida Newbie!
Hello all! Another Florida (Gainesville) newbie. I was at Ocala's Flying Model Club flying site Saturday and watched some great flying. One pilot was very skilled and was flying a Dalton Aviation 42% Extra. I'm sorry I didn't catch his name, but I'm sure he was getting his freestyle routine together for a competition! The other pilot was a 12 year old (i'm guessing) who was also flying a large scale Extra (Aeroworks I think).
I'm definitely joining Ocala's club next month or so, and I will also be in Tuscon late October to see the "Shootout". I'm hooked, dead meat, looking at convincing a wife to finance another obsession....
Right now, my experience is in electric foamies. I'd love to build, but the workspace is too limited. I'll need losts of help in the future with numerous questions. Hinging big flying surfaces, sealing gaps to prevent flutter; all of this seems new to me.
I'm glad I found this spot.
