Hi everybody
I have just found this forum, seem like my sort of interest
My name is Alec, living in Blackburn Lancashire, I have been on the periphery of RC since the early 1970's, my first radio set was MRC, remember those?
moved onto Skyleader then Futaba Gold.
However life and work always managed to get in the way so I had big gaps in my interest, now aged nearly 71 I finally retired (at the 3rd attempt) in September this year, I can now spend the time (to keep me from getting bored!) with some building. I intend to go on a nostalgia trip revisiting some of my favorite projects and some that I never completed, but will do so now.
I have been planning for a while so have collected a range of tools and I have also been collecting job lots of balsa whenever I have seen them come up for sale.
First on the board is one of my favorites a David Boddington Centurion, a bit like a larger Super 60, I have made quite a bit of progress over the last few weeks and I have a few pictures so I may post those on here when I have sorted them into some sort of order.
