Apart from Model boats I enjoy all RC modeling , cutting my teeth on RC planes at an early age .
I love All motor sports from Bikes to F1 and follow them as regularly as I am able to .
Rugby is another of my favourite sports and if you ever need to get in touch with me when there is an England match on you may as well forget it ! :}
Below are a couple of pictures of my scratch built (when I finish it) Stinson Reliant , with 10 ft wingspan and powered by an 80 cc twin cylinder petrol engine .
1st pic is what it should look like when finished !

That is going to float on a breeze Shane! The bigger they are the better they fly and that will be a dream to fly, I hope to see the finished article. :-))

As for the rugby....well, living down here where the sun shines, my neighbour and good friend is an Irishman and we both love our rugby so every year we get together for the big match. We decorate the house with the flag of St George and the Irish tricolour. My friend dresses as a leprachaun and we have a trophy and wooden spoon to be presented at the end of the game. Our good ladies cook and English/Irish dish for dinner and we consume Guinness and Jameson's whisky. There is no better "Other Interest" and role on Saturday!!! :-)) :-))
