About
Hi, My Name is Steve McDiarmid
I am 41 and live in NW London.
On Christmas day I will be unwrapping my first ever RC helicopter. An ESKY Belt CP.
I have spent the last month or so going through these forums, reading all of the excellent information supplied. The aount of info needed to get going in this hobby is amazing but spending some time reading and asking questions should help immensely.
I intend to keep this blog posted as I progress, in the hope it may help other people new to the hobby. I am coming at this as a complete beginner, so hopefully it may help others in the same situation.
I remember standing in Harrods Toy department when I was about 12, staring in awe at the rc planes and helicopters and decided there and then that one day, I would be flying one of these models. It has taken quite some time to get here. In between I have built rc Boats and cars.
I got the Belt CP from ebay, and while waiting for it to turn up, started searching for info on the internet. I found the heliguy site quite quickly and have been hooked ever since. Even though the heli has become an xmas present, I managed to take a look over it, to ensure it was in working order (more in Blog entry).
Anyway enough for now, I hope you enjoy reading this and hope it helps someone. Comments are always appreciated.
