I wanted to take a moment this afternoon to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Brad, I live in Maine, USA. I grew up building and flying model aircraft with my father in South Africa. I have been out of the hobby since moving to the US about 7 years ago or so.

After graduating college within the last year, I finally have some free time to invest in the hobby. My interests have transitioned from sport planes to scale. I am sure my goals far outweigh my capabilities at this point, but I think with the help of this forum I may be able to get where I want to be.

Currently finishing up a Tower Hobbies Uproar (to get my fingers back in the game), then onto an Eagle II (My girlfriend has shown some interest in building and learning how to fly, so figured we could build something for her to start learning on). Following that, I am researching and beginning documentation for a Top Flite Bonanza, I plan on doing the V35B variant - I have a topic in the research thread for more discussion on this. Following that, I am not too sure yet, perhaps finishing up a Sig 1/4 scale cub on floats, or perhaps a Pilot Tiger Moth, we'll see what happens.

Best, Brad

Skye: With regards to getting started with the Bonanza research and documentation, I am already getting into the thick of it over in my research topic -  https://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=327 37&PN=1 - please come check that out, I am about to make a post over there with a potential specimen. I am definitely interested in talking to as many people as possible, so however you want to pass my information along, I'd be happy to work with you. I am excited to get back into the hobby and form some friendships along the way.

Best, Brad

Thank you for providing his contact info, I will reach out to him today at some point!

Best, Brad
