Hi All. Just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm Candice. I'm a World War One aviation enthusiast since childhood. Learned to fly both single engine and glider. Built a bunch of 1/48 World War One models but the last ten years I've let that slide. I just recently bought my first ARF motor glider to serve as my initial technology platform for FPV. Ultimate is to FPV a giant scale WW1 fighter. Besides it is kind of a natural hobby for me since I did avionics/aerospace electrical engineering for 30 years it seems a good fit. Looking forward to learning from everybody.

Hi Candice, welcome to RCSB!

What part of CA are you in, North or South? Some good WWI fly-ins in both parts (he says modestly, pointing to the flyer for his own fly-in).

When you are ready to start a build I suggest you check out the site supporter program (LINK) - not only does that give you unlimited posting and the ability to upload pics, but there are a lot of other benefits as well.

Awesome Pamela, do you start a build report of this one

I bought some time ago the drawings of a 1/3rd Gnome with the intention to make one when I have enough skills....... Still learning.

Depending on which side of the park it is only a couple of hours to the Bay Area.

SCCMAS Tomcats are having a WWI Fly-in next weekend. Mine in August is about 45 minutes further North. If you are a traveler I highly recommend the Ukiah Dawn Patrol in October. I know there is a good WWI fly-in down your way but I forget the date and location.
