Hello from Hendersonville, North Carolina, USA
« on: June 23, 2017, 10:34:08 PM »
Just joining this forum now but I have been lurking for some time.  I have been building models for over 20 years (all cars), but got interested in RC airplanes, and now interested in airplane display models.  I have built 5 planes so far, with a Academy Sopwith Camel on the bench.  This one is a learning experience as I sharpen my weathering and rigging techniques.
So, I will have some questions and really appreciate all the help that you can give as I build on others' experiences to improve my own modeling capabilities.  Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard. You'll find the atmosphere positive but without sacrificing depth of knowledge at all. Back before my time the Aerodrome had a modeling forum. At first I was sad about it but then I found this place. Some minds on here packed not only with modeling knowledge but historical knowledge. Aerodrome is still valuable... The guys who wrote a lot of the books I have or want are there... But I come here first. And more often.

By the way, I lived in NC for 7 years. I went to school at State and Carolina, and my dad lived in Conover for about 20 years. Carolina barbecue is the best thing in the world.
