hi all,
i am dan from ireland,i'm a builder who runs my own buisness here, 34 years old,i have been in to rc stuff as far back as i can remember,i live here up on a very high location hill top residence with my 8year old son and wife nicola,me and nicola always go out together and record footage and i make my own videos,i got back in to the flying after a 10year break,to be honest back that time i never flew much and the technology nowadays has changed so so much... the planes are just better able to handle the air and the quality and availability of cheaper-durable models now really have changed this hobby,especially IMO the electric section of it.
in my 10year break i was playing around with 5th scale stuff offroad models,i then started racing onroad models and after a year racing became a factory sponcered driver here in ireland after winning a lot of races and generally showing good results,last race i was in had 24 cars from all ireland and uk and i came 3rd,so that's how it went for me,so i still have my cars and still race but to be honest my heart lies in 3D flight stuff,i am passionate about it,ahh it was ok but i hated the time consuming side of it,i spent a lot of time away from my family and stuck in my rc room stripping and rebuilding the cars..... got a little sick of it,for my birthday last may i got back in to flying last christmas,but for my birthday may this year i got a parkzone visionaire from nicola and loved it,(my rc world changed,i saw new possibilities) i spent this summer practicing on it and if i'm honest it was the windest summer i have seen,so i have not flown it a whole lot but yeah i'm in to it and love it so you will probably see some updates from me here on my flying,i found this forum by chance,i don't know anyone here,so hello all and see you on the forums.
is this a uk based forum?
all the best
Dan
