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 |

Re: Hello everyone! New member here
Welcome to Flying Giants!
Are you offering a "special discount" on mail order items to all Flying Giants members?

Re: Hello everyone! New member here
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.

Re: Hello everyone! New member here
 Seriously though, you never know, I might hook a brother up with a little discount if I'm in the right mood! lol
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.

Re: Hello everyone! New member here
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.

And the seam for the ailerons can't get soaked up with clear coat! You can't go wrong with the TOC Yak. One of my buddies has that plane. One word.... AWESOME!One hell of a floater. Definitely a good choice. |
