Default New old guy at the field.

Good evening to all you Gimble jockies. Im trying to get back into RC aircraft after extended lay off due to medical reasons. All well now and bought almost new 35% YAK 54 with DA100. Need new radio and airborn again. Hope to chat with some of you soon.

Welcome to the site. If you have been out for more than a few years, like I was, you will be amazed at the advancements in the equipment.

I was out for awhile also, EVERY thing has changed. Planes weigh 75% what they used to, cost LESS and have more wing area for the span. Man you can get servos that make well over 100 oz. of torque for $25 ! With metal geartrains even.
