I'm new to the forum and wondering if there's anyone else here from BC Canada.  I'm in Langley.
While not new to rc I have never built a scale boat before.  I've had a few prebuilt rc boats, kyosho, traxxas etc...

I've always liked scale boats but until now lacked the patience to take on the project(not sure I have it yet but we'll see). 

The gears in my head keep turning and there will definately be lots of questions along the way; this forum seems to be a good place to start.

Is there any local events I can check out to get some ideas?  Seeing things in person is a  big help over seeing them online in pics.

I guess any advice would be helpful as to where to start.

Thanks

Glad to see you found this site - a wide range of help, assistance, photos through these pages and posts!

You may find it worth visiting the RC Groups site and the Model Tug Forum - a few from BC on there fairly regularly. Burnaby Model Boat Club is not far, also a few fellows in a non-club group meet out at Coquitlam at a pond. I can dig out that info for you if you want to send me a note. You'll find lots of help at the ponds and see a variety of models.

Browse the Mayhem photo directories - I posted photos of Burnaby, Foss Cup and Mid Island shows (few years old but worth a look) as well.

Regards,
mike

Thanks Mike.
I'll send you a pm for the info.

I misplaced the coquitlam info - will try and locate it. Burnaby Hobbies is your source for info, etc there. The Club meets Sunday am's at Central Park off Imperial.
There's bound to be others from here that will see your post also.
