Hi everyone,

My name is Dino, I've only been into RC for about 3 years. I love helicopters but I'm still only hovering around.
Last year I played around a bit with airplanes but I missed helis too much. I'm back flying my helis this year and started getting into quad racing as well.
FPV is a hoot.

This site is amazing, so much information to go through and very knowledgeable members. I look forward to learning from you guys.

Cheers

Thanks Keith, as a newbie there is so much information out there, it's almost too much. You need to find a place that will give you good information right from the start.
Sounds good about the pics and videos. I'll try to post some soon.

Sounds like you have a few really nice helis. Love to see some pictures sometime. This group is an excellent source of information for anyone, newbie or pro. Just browse the site for a while and feel free to ask anything that you would like. There are a lot of great people here. Anything you need, I'm sure someone will be able to help.

I'm in Chilliwack area. Have you got a good LHS in your area? We have a small one here that helps but next to nothing else in Lower Mainland / Vancouver area. I travel a bit to Alberta . It would be handy if their was a good shop to visit. Mail order / shipping in Canada seems to cost more than the parts.

We've got three hobby stores in Calgary. PM Hobbycraft in the NE, Action Hobby in the SE, Modelland in the SW.
I go to Modelland the most since it's the closest. Regarding shipping I always try to use Canada Post or USPS. Then you don't get charged import fees like you do with the couriers.
