My Brother Tankers,

There is indeed so much talent on this site it really boggles the mind. However for some one area is like that part of the ocean that the ancient sailors feared.

I've spoken with a few of the guys on this site and what we would like to do is to give you all a bit of knowledge that will make this hobby even more fun, and a little less scary.

What I am talking about is electronics. The goal here is not to have you be able to build your own ElMod, DMD, but to give a basic knowledge of how electrons flow and what you can use to control them.

Please I beg you friends do not take this as Don thinks we're idots. Far Far from that. I want to give everyone the best modelling tool you can get: Knowledge...and its' free!

So if you need some understanding I would like to start by refering you to this site:

I and some other will add to this as we go along. Try some simple projects. And I bet after a few minutes at least one person will look at a Heng Long Board and say "Ah, so that's what that is.

Please enjoy my Brothers and welcome to a new look into this fascinating hobby.

Don
