      Just want to say hello. Names Shane. Ive been Flying for about 5 years now. Started with a Nextar Trainer. Nitro.   Last nitro plane Ive ever owned.   All electric now. Loving it. I have some of my planes listed in my profile. Hope to learn some things here as well as help if I can, share experiences good or bad.  Oh I learned the first EDF probably shouldn't be an F4 Phantom. Probably the plane with the least lift out there. No one told me not to (chop the throttle) when making my base turn for the land. As soon as I did, it fell like a rock. Thank You all in advance.

              Hi Shane, welcome to the forum. This hobby is pretty addictive, but if you've been in it for 5 years, you probably already know that. Anyway, welcome, enjoy the fun, and keep on flying!

                            Any chance, with that handle you are an astronomy buff to?

                              Ahh. I did a little rocketing here while back. Gave all my stuff to my little cousin he loved it. Well pleiades is the star cluster in which Subaru gets its name. I love subarus. I have an 05 Forester and 01 Outback. But yes i have always loved astronomy. Like watching the iridium flares in the evenings. Watched the ISS for several minutes one time. Like photography too. Would like a lens for astrophotograpy but soooo expensive.
