Hi all...

Looking forward to reading and learning from all you old timers. I recently came across a little cash and decided to get back into the hobby.

Got my AMA - joined the local club and got a trainer up. I flew about 10 years ago and was wondering if it was like riding a bike.. for me it was.

Already have my bro-n-law up on our buddy box...he is diggin it!

Went nuts on ebay lately got a plane + .65 engine + 6 ch radio for $117.00...not bad if it all works... also bought a J3 cub kit to work on in my 10x14 hobby shed out back.

Love the hobby...born to fly...oh yea, soloed in a REAL airplane back in '89 - Cessna 150... talk about an expensive hobby... this one is more fun...at least less expensive... so far.

Will ramble more later....cya!

Glad to hear you made it back.

What plane, engine and radio did you get for $117?
Good price.

Well, we will need to do something about that! You aren't spending any and all spare change on R/C? What's wrong with you!

Have fun with it!

You want to see an expensive hobby, build a full scale. It is a blast, but when you have a problem, there are a whole lot less people around to ask.

Models are addictive. Be carefull.
