I think I'll re-enter the hobby this year

[TexMechsRobot]

Just saying hi and that I hope you'll start to see my name around the forums again. I inadvertently took the year off from the hobby after a pretty rough start to 2018. Life is starting to settle out again and I'm rediscovering my joy for building and am hoping that flying isn't far behind.

Anyway. I think I need to spend time looking at all of the winter builds to get some inspiration and see what you all are working on

Welcome back.

Glad to have you back!!

This might be a little early but do you have any builds planned for 2019?

Not a one. I might start simple with some FT builds just to get things moving again. The FT Corsair looks to be a winner. I got a case of the WRFB for Christmas 2017 and I've used about 2 sheets of it since then so I have plenty to scratch build or plan build with.

Welcome back! I'm taking small steps back as well, having had life interfere. While there are always challenges, I feel more of a drive to focus on this hobby. I'm thinking I'll build a flying robot FT Spear.

Yes! Your back, I missed my old flying partner. When your ready I fly at the club some Saturdays and you could come up as my guest. I'm in the middle of a complex Extra 300 build right now and fixated on it actually....I just saw this post...

I plan to rejoin the club this year but also need to renew my AMA license. I've got no builds planned but I've been looking.

I went through your 300 thread. It looks nice! You really should take more pictures though...

I know, right? It's turning into a big thread for a plane no longer made. But, after building this plane I realize that there are much better versions of the Extra out there than the GP version, so no loss on this kit being discontinued.

Welcome back mate. Glad to hear life is getting back to where you can get back in the air or at least back to the build table.
