ohaley Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hello to everybody from Valdez, Alaska. Have been out of the hobby for quite some time, but now have the desire to get back into it. Gonna start out with a Junior 60 electric. This will be my first electric build from a Ben Buckle Kit. Sure I will be asking many questions on this build as I see quite a bit of posts about it. Has been almost 10 years since I built something. Sure I will be a little rusty and look forward to it. Thanks to everyone in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 - Moderator Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hello and welcome to the friendly forum from the west coast of Wales. The Junior 60 is still a popular model in the UK [ electric power has given it boost] more so with with shall we say more mature flyers both learners and returners. Any questions ask away. Cheers John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohaley Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Thanks so much for the kind greetings. I just may put some ski's on it, got a pair left over from a cub build years ago. If I do I will send pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis 2 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Welcome from me too from the middle of France. The Junior 60 was my first successful radio controlled model aircraft and I learned to fly on it. Picture of my second Junior 60 below with my much younger self! This one was electric powered, six NiCads and a brushed motor! I plan to build a third Junior 60 over the winter off a plan. I'm going to build it as light as possible, cover it in tissue over doculam, and power it with a 15 two stroke once other repairs and projects are complete.

ohaley Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Thank you for the welcome! Very nice model, I hope mine will half as nice. I am planning an outrunner with lipo's on my junior 60. First attempt at this and I have to say all the choices seem a bit overwhelming. Learn as I go, got a long winter coming. Sure I will be asking quite a few questions. This group seems like a real good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
