Hello From Ohio!

[knpjdad]

Hello all. I have been on this board since 2017 and been flying since I was 16. I'm 52 now and don't care to do the math. If I do the math, I will make myself feel old!
I started like most others did back then, with a Control Line plane and a Cox engine (Damn little finger biters). Moved into the Nitro Stuff then Gas, Electric, Starting to play with the turbine stuff now too. But I still find myself going back to the giant scale gassers.
This is where my heart always goes, to see a giant scale 3D bird flown by a good pilot is just a thing of beauty. To see a scale bird flown scale is also a thing of beauty. I just like the larger scale. Maybe because I'm getting older and can't see the small one a well anymore.

I have read these forums for 2 years now, and thought it was about time, I sat down and said hi and thank you to everyone here for their helpfulness and all the post that I have read over the years.
I truly do enjoy this site.

I fly out of the Findlay Flying Circuits in Findlay, Ohio - What a great peanut gallery we have there. All Good Members, no drama, just fun flying. Good Stuff.

I look forward to reading more great posts, and now that I've broken the ice, maybe posting a few things myself.

Hope everyone has a great 2019 flying season!

Well great that you have joined us. Welcome and enjoy the friendly atmosphere, lot of good people with endless knowledge and very willing to help.

I will agree with all that Snoopy1!! ProTec I think is in Leipsic, Ohio if I'm right... I live about 35 Minutes east of there. So.... Sort of close! I would drive there to pickup an airplane that I bought, but I wouldn't want to walk home from there if my truck broke down.
