It's been decided that this group is most appropriate for use
in discussion of radio controlled modeling.  (planes, boats, cars,
helicopters, etc)  

I think it would be nice if we could get our cast of characters
established initially.  Later, we can move on to kit/engine/radio
reviews, flying experiences, club activities, etc.  To get the ball
rolling, here's a profile of myself.  I've tried to include things 
I thought I'd be interested in learning about other people in the hobby.  

Name:  Scott Wiesner
Home:  Boulder, Colorado
Age:   22
Years in RC:  A tougher one to answer.  During junior high, I was 
	a member of the Mid Missouri RC Association.  I flew for
	about a year and a half, but when my family moved, I never
	got involved in the local activity.  Having just recently
	graduated from college, I thought I'd get back into the
	hobby to fill up my spare time.  I spent a month deciding
	what to get, a month building, and soloed at the end of August
	during my 8th flight.  I guess it's like riding a bike.  
	My instructer never had to take the transmitter away from me.

Current equiptment:  At the moment, I'm still flying the plane I
	re-learned on.  I've got a Futaba FG7-K FM radio, Great Planes
	Trainer 40, with a K&B .40.  I'm working on a Windfree sailplane,
	a New Era 40, and have a Cap 21 in the closet for a winter
	project.  

Flying field description:  We (the Boulder Aeromodeling Society) have
	2 paved runways, 30x350 (NS) and 30x300(EW).  Prevailing winds
	are out of the South.
