Hey all,
I mainly go by GrumpyBadger pretty much anywhere I go, both online and off. Long story short of it, some of my friends think I and this character -
and in a way, I have to agree. I'm the same guy at other aviation forums, star wars forums, and history forums.
I've built plenty of things from scale models, rc hobby trucks, to full size sail boats, so I'm feeling up for the scratchbuilding of my first RC plane. I like the costs, and the ease of which I can fix them
I'm thinking about building Flight-test's Blender or Baby Blender as my first rc plane... is that a good choice? Basically, long term goal is to have my favorite warbirds in scale RC.
Wildcat
Hellcat
Corsair
Catalina
Goose
but everyone says don't fly warbirds the first go, which having some flight-time myself, I can see why in the scale community too. I just hate hi-wing aircraft. I don't like em unless they can float too I do like bi-planes and they do have the upper wing so...
at first I was thinking of the Catalina BNF I found, but it has twin engines so that's a little too complicated. Beyond that, I can build with the best. If I can build a Master Chief 117 suit, I can build a model airplane out of foam too.
anyway, happy to be here, looking forward to joining the group and getting to know everyone
