Congratulations! I too am working on reentering the hobby after a long break. Dusted off what remains of my equipment after taking about 8 years off to focus on my kids.

I have an Electric GBY Racer hanging up in the garage but opted instead to pick up a new Ultimate 40 kit. Wanted to take the time to re familiarize myself with the construction process as a primer for the unavoidable and upcoming repairs

Glad you had such a great experience at your local club, can't wait to meet some of the guys near me.
