Default RE: Let's meet the new guys!

Hi, I'm Marc, a 33 yr old code chopper (programmer) who has been in the hobby about 4 months. Originally got hooked by a family member years ago and my wife bought me an electric cheapy in July. Couldn't keep it in the air more than 30 seconds but it made me start checking out glow's. Started my PT-40 kit in August, been flying it now about 1.5 months. I have yet to have to ask a question here because everytime I had one, it was already answered . The PT-40 has been great, only killed 4 props so far (2 yesterday [&o])

Managed to get hooked up with a good instructor and what seems so far to be a good club. Minnflyer had said just show up and you will have to beat off the helpers, that is so true. First day out as soon as the engine started I had three guys help adjust the needles to get the idle, etc right on.. I never would have gotten it right without them!
