Hi Everyone,
I came across the channel looking for a good starter to get my brother for his birthday. Ended up getting him a Hobbyzone Duet, but ever since i watched that episode I have not stopped watching or listening to everything Flite Test. Within a week I had a Tiny Trainer scratch built and a week later, after parts came in, I took the family to the park and had a really lucky maiden. That was about a month ago. Have since had many more flights and a few wrecks but the TT keeps flying.
A bit of background. About 5 years ago I got into Helicopters thinking, because of some of the clone kits, it would be fairly cheap. I quickly spent a lot of money and had very little reward(was way too nervous to crash). But I did play around with Phoenix at the time and tried planes. That's why i was so quick to jump on it when I saw the Flite Test videos. Only 1 month in it has been incredibly rewarding and i'm sure i'm hooked for life. I have two sons and a third on the way and am already looking at ways to get the oldest (3 1/2) into building and flying.
Anyways just wanted to introduce myself, I am sure i'll be asking many questions along the way and appreciate all the help.
Thanks again to Flite Test and the community.
