{:-{hi everyone my first post on the forum,i got the bug after bying two old model boat mags from a market stall ,my first build was a tugboat from plans in glyn guests small r /c model boats . my next model was somewot different . i purchested a damaged display model yatch from t. k. max ,i removed all the top hamper and reshaped the hull to represent a cutter ,my main reason for this was to rig the boat as a ninteen century trading cutter , i left the sails off as i prefer static models with rigging only ,that said ! all the running riggings in place in case i change my mind .back to glyn guest , ive just completed my third model a small trawler. my next build was to be a kit ,i had my eye on a nice size trawler but someone not to far away is not so happy ,my fleet as i call them are starting to take over i need to get on the water . i must admit i find r /c rather daunting ,some of you guys out there realy know your trade so i know where to com for advise ,so... ive decided to brake open the piggy bank and take the plunge ,the kit will after wait rather sink a homemade boat : on a more serious note i had desided on the planet t 5 transmitter ,sounds just the job for a novis. but when i rang a model shop in n /yorks i was informed they had removed the t 5 from the shelf as there was a serious problem with them . i rang another shop in w/yorks who where happy to sell me the t 5 i informed them what the shorp in n /yorks hade told me about the t 5 i was told they could not coment on another suppliers policys,rightly so i suppose. but given the glowing report of the t 5 it does seem worrying . ive serched the forum for more imformation but unable to find any : sorry to end my first post on such a sour note but it does seem strange. p s excuse my grammer. new to p /c as well . old hat.
