I created this section at the request of a new member. Please post a short introduction of yourself here and I encourage other members to welcome newcomers to the site as well.

I'll start, with saying that I am Kay, the owner of AerodromeRC. I designed most of the models at AerodromeRC and I operate this forum and shopping cart.  The forum is intended as a place for AerodromeRC customers to share information and to ask questions about modeling. In it's few years, this forum has become a place where very high quality modelers share their builds and skills in an environment that is diverse and pleasant. I am delighted to host it and hope you all enjoy it as well.

I am Thomas (40) and I live in the north-west region of Germany. I have been making and flying model planes for roughly 30 years, too. (Can't tell when it started - I know for sure that I always asked my mum to bring balsawood from town before I was able to go there by bike myself) My main interest is focussed on early aviation, its building techniques and early aerodynamics - a knowledge that will surely be taken into account in the future with modern planes. (That's why you might not find proper lozenge or guns on my planes) I was very happy to discover Kay's Kits because there is nothing comparable on the market over here. I develop and mill kits for beginners to get the youngsters back into building - but that's a difficult task as there are other - at first sight more tempting seductions for the kids. I am very glad that it is possible to share experience in this excellent forum. As modelling is sadly disappearing among the younger generation it is quite encouraging to get and give feedback from people who share my interests. The atmosphere in this forum is really friendly and subject focused - its really worth the time to write and post comments!

Hi all,

I am Peter Weichel (age 45), working as project manager and enjoying the RC flying hobby. I am living in Denmark and has been flying control line models in the 1980´s but now i am into RC flying since three years.

I like to build scale models from balsa/ply not just ARF but also kits like Aerodrome or from ground up.

I fly: Piper Cup J3, Middle Stick, FunJet, Sopwith S.E.5.a, FW190A wings and some indoor models. Looking forward to finishing my Sopwith Camel from AerodromeRC.

Hi

I'm Tony Dorans 41 and work as a Digital Printing Supervisor at a large Swedish based printers in the UK. I started building indoor gliders for a school competition and the bug took off from there. I stopped building after leaving school and only restarted a few years ago but I regret not starting sooner! I have two of Kays models hanging from the ceiling awaiting their maiden flights but as an RC newbie I'm trying to get some practice with a mini supercub.  I also have a Polikarpov I16 Mosca ready for a maiden which I hope to fly in the next couple of weeks! and I'm presently building a Spitfire Mk1. My next build is gonna be another from one of Kays collections but my decision changes from week to week. SE5, Jenny or Albatros then again could be one of the new ones in the pipeline!

Hi,

I am Henk Goosen, 54 years young, father of two kids and grandfather of a 2 year old grandson. I am a clockmaker by trade.
I have been in the model airplane hobby since I was 15 years, but never build a ww1 model. At the moment I am finishing a electric glider. After finishing the glider I like to build a bi planelike a Sopwith Pup or..... Looking for a plane that can handle a nice breeze because in the Netherlands it is always windy.

Hello all-

I'm a 31 year old father of one lovely young daughter.  I'm an architect in Little Rock, AR and that's where my love of building models has taken me.  I've always enjoyed building models, but I'm still relatively new to R/C modeling, I've only been in it for about 3 years.  I started off in small micros and indoor stuff, but I always had scale subjects.  I still enjoy micros, but it's also nice to see the balsa works of art at a bit larger scales.  I've always been fascinated with WWI machines and the tech of the time.

I spend most of my time browsing around the scale forum on RCGroups and I have a few build logs there.  I've been drooling over several of the Aerodrome kits for some time, so I thought I'd create an account here and read up on them.  Maybe someday I'll get around to building one!

Welcome to all who posted here! There is a misunderstanding about the new board. What would be more effective is that introductions are posted in new threads, not this one. This way we can respond individually and welcome you properly.
