Dear all,
To introduce myself, I am 28 yo and that is (re)discovering old toys.
Few months ago, I found a F6F-3 Hellcat balsa kit from Guillow's that I hadn't seen for years.
I immediately started to assemble it, remembering that I wasn't mature enough to do so when I received it for my 12th birthday.
Not especially made to be geared with a electric motor, I contacted a club nearby and obtained loads of interesting information concerning the huge gap between my lovely little Hellcat and the currently used models, made of polystyrene.
I got that the Hellcat would require much more knowledge, tools and equipement than I thought, and also that I should surely start flying a polystyrene model before attempting to crash fly my Hellcat (which took already 25 hours of my time at this stage).
At this stage, I am gathering the parts for a Sky Surfer X8 that I am planning to fly with an FC and in the future a video system.
So I am here to enjoy this new passion with others
