Title: Newbie to the forum
Post by: Kadtoy on January 12, 2015, 09:17:25 am

Hi,
I am totally new to this type of modeling.
When a lot younger I learnt to fly RC Planes. Building my own as I progressed.
Now, with a little more time on my hands I am taking an interest in Boat Building.
I have got a project on the go "A Tug" and hope to make more progress on it soon.
Being new I will be searching for answers and asking the experienced people how to do bits.
When I reach mile stones I have set myself I will Post Pics.
Thanks for having me on the forum


David

Hi Andy,
I did not realise Basingstoke had a boat club, I am so new to all this and keep to get building.
I am attempting a Kilmek Tug, from scratch. In-fact I have just been notified by balsa has just arrived.
Do you sail at the Anton Lakes? I have been there before with a friend to sail his boat.
If you have details of the Basingstoke club at Eastrop it would be great.
