Status: offline 		The Panzer III's are great tanks. You may want to upgrade the airsoft unit to make it much more enjoyable to use. I'm just in the process of finishing up a HL Jagdpanther. It's starting to look quite nice. I'll post pics when its done and probably display it at the hobby shop as well.

Do you order your Airsoft units from Toyeast?

I live in Southern Ontario, Near St. Catherins, and saw your thread. It would be awesome to see a Tank club! I would love to join, but currently I don't own anything. I am however going to start, hopefully soon, making my own tank. I'm thinking of around the size of an 1/18th scale. I have most of the stuff, but need to start making it. If this club does come through, I would like to be part of it.

Also, this is my first post. But look for another post in the Tank Section about my new project,

Status: offline 		Tim,

I suppose I did clean out the Hobby shop of the Dark Yellow paint. I've been waiting for the clear flat and clear gloss for several weeks. Ran into the same problem in the summer (no dark yellow) I had to use sand yellow instead on one of my tanks. As for the airsoft unit, I had ordered 20 units from HL (the older yellow cap motors) when I got my KT from China. The newer replacement units with the blue caps cannot be upgraded like the older ones can. I did pick up several VS guns from toyeast awhile but again, they only have limited ablity to be upgraded. The ones that come stock with the HL tanks luckily are the yellow cap ones. We should probably get together (along with the other local guys) and start sharing info. We could call it the "Niagara Chapter" of the Ontario RC Amour Club (or what ever it ends up being called.

Status: offline 		How about a Meet and Great More Central

How about in the Burlington Area ? That way people from T.O and Niagara can meet. We could talk about the club, set it up with I guess " Rules ", code of conduct etc.

What do you all think ?

Look Forward to your replies, George Tonkovic from Hamilton

Do you know of somewhere specific you would like to meet?

I think Thomas was trying to get the Niagara guys together since we live pretty close.

Yeah, I'd be interested, but like I said before, I have to make my tank, and see if I get my parents permission. I just need to know where, when all that good stuff.

If your talking about meeting at NCH, I've never been there, I shop at Rad Toyz, but I've passed NCH a few times, so I do know where it is.

Status: offline 		Well, Its on Lake Street. Go here (http://www.radtoyz.com/about.html) and there should be a map. If that helps at all. The main reason I shop there, is because I race my Cars at there tracks. Check it out one day, its cool.

Reg. First Meeting

I thought that since there were tankers towards T.O and beyond, we should think of a Central Meeting location as in the Burlington Area. Not too far to travel from Niagara area and T.O area.

We could pick something like a Restaurant, could even make a deal with the Management, if enough members show up regularly. We might get use of a small section of the room to meet etc. Who knows, a 10 + number of people, order from menu and talk about club. Good for the restaurant and for us. We could try that Once, if the Management won`t deal Or help, well then there are other places next time and they lose business.

OR

Is there somewhere in the Middle between T.O and Niagara, that we could meet to setup this Group and have show and tell ? Parking and Location and be able to handle a group. That could then be a monthly meeting location.

Like to see your opinion BUT please, if its a Hobby Shop, well there are not too many and the Niag. guys like St. Caths. but its a little too far for the T.O guys. We should try to keep in the middle So at the start, there are No bad feelings from anyone. People are people you know. I am in a few clubs and I have experienced that when it comes to " why have the meet here, not there " . We should try from the start to have a Middle location to encourage everyone to attend. Then that could become a regular meeting point.

Let me know your suggestions.

Thanks, George from Hamilton

P.S. Please don`t take any offence to me putting these suggestions up, others started this club suggestions before me. I just don`t want to see a possible point of tension
between the Niagara people and the T.O people etc.
