Mode Zero

My name is Tom Watson I live in Sydney Australia. I have been modelling for at least 70 years. I started when I was six and I am 76 now. Been through most types of models up to and including Turbine Jets. I have a Single Channel set with the encoder designed by Jean Marie Piednoir from the Vintage Radio Control Society. I also have one of Phil's Tiny 6 Reed sets in a Junior 60.
I fly at the Charles Kingsford Smith Model aircraft club at Pitt Town just west of Sydney.
I have just ordered a Galloping Ghost set from Tobe and am building a Jr Falcon for it. It will be silk covered.
I had a Rand actuator many years ago.

Are there any other Retro Modelers in Sydney?

Regards

Hi Tom
Welcome to the forum and great to have you onboard.

Ron.

Welcome Tommy! Very glad to hear from you!
I'm enjoying single channel again after 50 years!

Hi Tom, welcome to the group . There are Aussie members active on the forum from Sydney, WA & regional areas - I'm in Temora, NSW. As our numbers are slowly growing, perhaps we should consider how we may participate (remotely) in the annual Ponty event - postal (like the FF guys do) or try & get together somewhere???

Regardless, great to have you with us

G'day Tom,
Welcome to the group, I'm a member of two of the Shire clubs in the southern suburbs if that's close enough, still a beginner to SC, 50 years only flying RC.

Welcome aboard.
I'm in Hornsby so not too far from you.

I've often though about a visit to the Pitttown club. I might wander out one day for a look.

The club allows visitors twice per year. Contact me if you want to visit and I will arrange a time. My most popular days are Tuesday and Sunday. Tuesday is best as there is less crowd.
Must be MAAA affiliated.

Hi Wayne. I have had a few great weekends at Temora for the Jet Fly Ins. Nice place. Flying from a full size runway is great. Wonderful aviation Museum.
I want to visit the Museum again so perhaps we can meet and have a fly at your field.
