I've already posted a couple of messages such was my excitement and enthusiasm for info..
I'm already a fairly established builder of models of many types and styles. Predominantly I build for other people, all free of charge and along the way I've made some models for keen enthusiasts of the Donald Campbell Dynasty.
Predominantly I specialize in building and flying radio controlled aircraft and I'm into fast jets and high flying gliders for aerial photography and first person view.
More recently I have become very intersted in fast boats after an ettempt to convert the Touchwood 1/24 scale Bluebird K7 to ducted fan and radio control for a gentleman called John Bullivant who is well known to most people withing the history of Donald Campbell.
Currently I am converting the 1/12 scale Touchwood model for the same treatment of ducted fan so we'll see how this rather heavy build transforms after all the major modifications to reduce the weight..
I have a few you tube videos of the plane builds with on board cameras and my current Face Book page covers all that I do.

I'm looking forward to another few years of my new found interest with the scale performance boats and the info and input from fellow members. :-))
