Just thought I would introduce myself. Just signed up, bought my first SC last night although I am VERY familiar with them considering our little shop has sold 100's of em since they came out ;D Have not maidened yet but have already added Trexlers and am considering mods to the wing struts and landing gear for a more scale appearance. May go to ailerons and flaps too. Been flying for about 6 years now 3 and 4 channel and my claim to fame is GWS beaver modifications www.parisjunctionhobbies.com/gwsbeaver.html (yes I am that bob_suruncle) Wanted something to keep in the truck with me that would handle a bit of breeze and that is easy to throw in the air when the opportunity strikes... my beavers are all immensely jealous of their new hangar mate.

Hey Bob,
Welcome to the club. I've been flying since Dec. Still pretty new but learning.

I started flying about this time last year and it has been a blast! I started out with the Mini Super Cub and just recently picked up a full sized one used from a friend. Good luck on the maiden flight.

Hi Bob, welcome. Your beaver page makes good reading, some tidy mods there and they all look very clean. I take it the red and yellow ones are yours, do you have any pictures of the finished newsprint one? You obviously have a good understanding and experience of RC planes, so I wouldn't expect to see you asking the normal newcomer questions. For wind handling abilities you may want to consider going brushless for a bit more power, in time. On the stock motor, it is possible to get a flyaway in 15-20mph wind.
