Hi everybody,I have just joined & am really enjoying the forum. I am amazed at the knowledge of the members here & how freely you share with others. I live in Canada (Calgary Alberta) but find the U/K is the place to buy my bits I have had lots of help from Dave at Action electronics including a complete wiring diagram for my Smit Nederland(no charge & in 48 hours,the man is a credit to this forum & the hobby in general thank you Dave)
Martin at Westbourne has also been very helpfull. I am at present building the Smit Nederland & I have the Fairmount Alpine kit ready to go if I ever finish the Neddy, so lookout Dave you have more stupid questions coming your way. I am new to model boats but built quite a few model aeroplanes. Trouble was the ground kept jumping up & hitting them(very expensive) My better half got me a training program for my computer to improve my skills (not hard to improve on at my level) after many crashes & one good landing the writing was on the wall STAY on the ground. So now I will try the sinking business, after all I can always dive & recover. My day job is the repair, service, & restoration of old British sportscars. For those too young the know what they are , they are MGs, Triumphs, etc.It is a steep learning curve to master model boat building & I am already grateful for the many hints & tips I have picked up on the forum,thank you all & thank you Martin for allowing me to join your forum. Been mechanically inclined I will share any expertise I may have with you all & hope I can contribute in a positive way to the forum, Irishcarguy.
