Oldskiboat Posted March 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2020 Hello everyone, my name is Gary Huber. Although I built a ton of models when I was young (plastic, wood with tissue paper planes, and a few balsa boats, one with a gas plane engine). I am now retired and have built a wooden runabout of my own design (static) about a year ago and now I am building the baby bootlegger from plans. I want this one to be a radio controlled with electric motor. I will be asking a bunch of questions, so any help you can give is very much appreciated. Really glad I found this site. Regards, Gary ccoyle, JeffT, Duanelaker and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
