Declan Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I just thought I'd say HI as suggested upon joining the forum. I'm returning to the hobby after a 15 year layoff. Getting my eye back in with a simple electric (much more popular now than when I was flying before) foam trainer. I'm also starting a Sarik hobbies FW190 60" build for the winter project. Amazed at how cheap balsa planes for IC engines are on Ebay second hand nowadays compared to 15 years ago. No one seems to want them! I love the building part of the hobby as much as the flying if I'm honest. Declan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cooper Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Welcome to the playpen. Yes, the hobby and the technology has evolved during the last 15+ years. But basically, we are still flying model aeroplanes. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Hi Declan. Welcome back! What did you fly before your 'break'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 11 hours ago, GrumpyGnome said: Hi Declan. Welcome back! What did you fly before your 'break'? Quite a mixture really. Usual trainers and then more advanced models. I did have an ARTF FW190 about 60" wingspan, I cannot remember the brand, it was a nice flyer with a big red nose. I did have a 3D flyer but agian the name escapes me. It was quite popular at the time. They were all glow engined. Also had a Ripmax electric spitfire, not available now but that was nice. Since my return I've also started learning how to fly helis, quite a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Nice eclectic mix! Whilst it's changed during your break, it's still all about messing about with flying stuff, in the company of your chums..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
