Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and kind of new to free flight modeling. A friend of mine got me into this and I started building just over a year ago.
I did build and fly RC models for a couple decades and designed a couple dozen models. I also designed three different, lazer cut model kits that were in production with a couple companies.
Health issues forced me to quit flying RC over a decade ago but last year I started building free flight models. I'm enjoying working with balsa again.
Cheers!
Rob

Please tell us more of your hobby exploits. I'm curious as to learn how health issues drove you from RC to FF. Normally it is the other way around as running through the vast open fields chasing our models becomes more of an issue as we progress in age.
