Howdy. I'm 68 and retired, been around modeling in various forms since I was a pre-teen.
Other than a couple of cheesy $10 WalMart cars/trucks, never been around RC, so I'm pretty much in the "Don't even know what I don't know" arena.
I was an electronics tech in the Navy for 22 years and have also played around with Arduino stuff, so I'm reasonably competent with the technology, just not with RC specifically.
I recently got interested in "putt putt" or "pop pop" boats which use a small "boiler" powered by a candle or other small heat source to provide propulsion. It worked well enough to make me think that having an RC controlled rudder would make them quite a lot of fun. Sllooooowwww fun, but fun.
I'll check out the search function, but I'm likely to be asking some VERY basic questions if that's ok.
