Hello! R/C plane enthusiast here shifting to model making :)

Welcome aboard. You picked the right scale to dive in with, don't let the others try and talk you out of it.

Welcome aboard

Welcome sir!  With your DIY situation, I think it's exciting to see some of your projects.

Welcome!!  Lots of good people here and tons of incredible talent. Absorb and learn!

I still have my foot in the RC plane trap.  What do/did you fly?

Well started from the brushed motor, bulky ESCs and NiCd battery days! Enjoyed the brushless revolution. Started from 2ch planes then progressed. Spent some time flying the QAV250. Did some FPV flying on the planes and quads too. Built my own pink foam planes as well. What about you?

I also used to do both flying models and static scale (balsa or basswood solid models).  In my school years it was free flight and control line.  When I was finished with school I could afford RC gear and took up that but still built the occasional static scale (now plastic).  I gave up flying models when I moved to Minnesota in 1983 (harsh, long winters, and always windy).  Now I am strictly static scale.

I also frequent the Photographing scale models forum below.  Be sure to check out that forum if you have not done so already.

Welcome to the Fine Scale Forums- there is a lot of good stuff here!

 Built stick and tissue and indoor stick and microfilm. Started with u-control and mono-line control. Went to R/C for a while but had a slight problem. I flew fine but I made lousy landings. After loosing quite a few planes and equipment I switched to R/C sailboating. Never lost one. During all this time, I still built plastic models.

Wow looks like a lot of people here have an R/C background! I will definitely visit "Photographing scale models"! Thanks!

Haha. Yeah that's what happens with R/C planes, almost every plane crashes at least once! I think most of us started when simulators weren't a thing. So you had to "pay" for every plane crash!
