Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!
Used to fly R/C in the '70s & '80s but switched to Sailboats after loosing quite a few planes due to some "not so pretty" landings. Also lost a lot of gear that way. Never lost a sailboat though. But, while doing that I also kept building the models for 67 of my 73 years. Lots of fun and enjoyment. If you have questions, just ask. There are a great number of knowledgeable people on here that are ready, willing, and able to help. And, there's no such thing as a "dumb" question.
