    Welcome To "The Lounge"

    The Lounge is a new forum section on Hobby Squawk that allows our members to kick back, put your shoes up and talk about things outside the realm of the RC aircraft hobby. It's an engaging way to get to know your Hobby Squawk friends beyond the obvious shared passion of RC electric aircraft.

    Think of it like hanging out in a coffee house or on your back patio on a warm Summer's day. You can discuss topics like movies, music, general news in the media, food & beverages, cars, fishing...Just about anything! We simply ask that you refrain from discussing religion or politics because these issues are historically explosive accelerators that can get ugly quickly.

    If you wish to discuss religion or politics with someone, please contact them in Private Message or outside of Hobby Squawk.

    Like all of our forums the rating is PG-13. I will be outlining and linking to a Rules and Regulations page in the near future so you all have a definitive explanation of our policies and rules, but as a general rule, we ask that you keep the profanity to a bare minimum. Overt profanity is not allowed. The "B" word, "Bull(dropping)" or that other name for a Donkey is acceptable in small amounts, but the "F Bomb" and other highly charged and profane swear words are not.

    Again, this will all be clarified in the Rules and Regulations page that is coming soon.

    For now, please enjoy this forum as a place to talk off-topic!

              I'm happy as well Doc! Beside that love of all things that fly including rockets I'm a serious
              model railroader! It pains me that it's been in storage waiting for us to move somewhere cross
              country!

              I retired this year and the wife wants to do another two. Then we are out of here
              I shall reverse the old adage of "Ho west young man" cause I'm not young except at heart! So I know there is at least one other like me in the groups from .

                I've been wondering where to put stuff like this Aros. Never been a big fan of forums, this one is super informative and the exception. Other interest, early rc you could say, slot cars. Mom used to work at the Tyco factory when I was a kid in NJ. Love all the new 1/32 scale and 1/24 scale slots coming out. Speed freak from an early age...

                  Same here every Saturday I hit the slot car track
                  it was great competing have slot car toolbox in hand.
                  The best place we had, had three large 6 car tracks.

                  Today I own about 250 ft of various Tyco track for little slot cars with several loop sections I usually pullout around the holidays and pull out some RR track to go around the tree done in a small rual setting with 4-6-6-4 streamers.

                        Hi Ewald, as long as you are calling or trying to chat with someone during those central Europe times, you should be able to get through. If you still can't get through please PM me your contact info and I will see if I can have someone reach out to you.
