MHo Posted December 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the membership. I am from Finland, and I have been building all kind of radio controlled model airplanes and other related stuff over 45 years or so. Mostly I build from scratch, making plans for my own fun designs and scale models from 3 - 5-views, line drawings and photos. No kits, no CAD, no 3D-printing, but old fashioned hand drawing and crafting, power tools help a lot. Composites are all OK, I use them a lot, but plain old carpentry is more relaxing on the eyes and mind.
