Hello all;
As I have mentioned I am new to soaring and have been referred here from RCGroups by a member here "ARUP". I have been into RC since 1973 and into modeling since about 1969. I have other bad habits such a building custom motorcycles and custom hunting rifles. This leaves no money for the common human habits such as drinking, smoking and womanizing
. I built my first RC scale glider in 1/12 scale and it was a SG-38 (SK-38 Czech variant) you can see the build here. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...new-to-gliders . I started but not have yet finished my second project which was a 1/12, once again Czech LF-109 which can be seen here. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...r-project-ever . I build in two scales which are 1/12 and 1/6. I am not however opposed in building something larger in 1/4 scale if the subjects moves me. I build only scale with historical significance to me and at the moment it is the LF-109 and also the PB-3 "Praha". I have build exclusively scale power in the past and just got into gliders. Since I have an active interest in a few scale aircraft which would make good glider tugs, this will fit right in with my current interests. In the last two years I shifted my work to building some custom hunting rifles and restoration of a few vintage military ones (no plastic guns for me). This Christmas vacation I plan on hopefully finishing my LF-109 and starting the next project. I have also since built for myself a glider winch incorporating a deep sea fishing real and a rather powerful brushless motor utilizing a 150Whr 11.1V lithium pack and controlled by a separate receiver on the unit utilizing the throttle channel on my transmitter. It is a very compact but yet extremely powerful device. I hope that this site will be fulfilling for me and that I get to enjoy the company of some new and knowledgeable people. I go by Gunny K because that is what I have been called since about the mid nineties and it has stuck. I left the Corps as a Gunny.
