Hi all,

Names Jack, Born UK, Half Kiwi Half Pom, living in Melbourne, hows that for multidiversal.

Been in the hobby since I was 12, built my first plane a 30cc Piper Cub Top Flite Kit I think it was, on the kitchen table no less, ****ed mum off to no end.

Since then though with Uni, then working full time, now with wife, dog and house time has been limited for me, I try to get as much done as i can but thats why we are in this hobby as it keeps as all sane :)

A few too many projects sitting at the moment so planing on getting them done and out the way so I can start a new short cut build.

currently working on modifying a 100" Stinson Reliant ARF into a SR-10C variant, got a RAF Short Tucano on the bench, fiberglass fuse built up wings, needs allot of work though and tempted to strip the wings and do a light glass coat and paint, lots of other models half built or not built but those are going to be sold off at our yearly car boot sale this month so I can fund the next project.

Nice to meet everyone and hope to be around a bit

Regards
Jack

Hi Jack, welcome to RCSB! Actually - see you have been a member for nearly a year, so thanks for introducing yourself.

My first scale model was a Top Flight Cub, it had about a 75" wingspan, and I flew it on a OS 40 FS (a bout 6CC) - flew very realistically. Well, in the hands of a better pilot than me that is!

You really should look into becoming a site supporter - lots of benefits that far outweigh the costs! Check here Site Supporter

Looking forward to a thread by you!
