Hooray for this new site. I love water planes

I am very happy to have found this forum. Although it wasn't easy. Alas, I am computer challenged. Spelling is a problem also.

I returned to RC flying, and e-flight in particular, because I wanted a seaplane.
Five planes later, I DO have a Adventurer, but it has not been flown. I have been flying a Tiger Moth, Slow Stick, P-51, And building a Sport-E-Stik.

All of these were to get my thumbs back, after a multi year absence from flying, so I didn't wreck the Adventurer, on the first flight.

I think it was smart to work on my flying skills, because I know that the Adventurer would not have survived my re-entry into the hobby. The GWS Mustang didn't.

So now I have the Adventurer, and an unbuilt pondside. I have learned a lot about motors, batterys, and I have a rescue boat. Everything I need except the nerve to get this plane wet.

This waterplane site should push me into it. Thanks...

Oh yeah, I have a digital camera too. How do I post pictures ?

Welcome aboard. Two boxes up from the "Submit" button of the Post reply page is a box that says "Attach File". Click the "Browse" button and select your pic from those you have. Note the valid extension types and file size limit.

Great idea. I´m sure the forum will "take-off":)

Here is the Catalina (from HVP) of my friend Pedro on finals:

Beautiful plane!!

Thank you . This is a fine model. Pedro asked me to "be in charge" in the first flights, and I can tell you it performs as it looks: great!

Here goes another photo. I´m not sure (the shots are two years old) but I think this is a take-off run.
