Hello all, I'm from New Jersey and finally thought I'd get around to introducing myself. I had always been enamored with remote control warships and always wanted to build one. Well that adventure started around 4 years ago when I acquired a Des Moines kit from Battlers Connection. I started it did as much as could at the time (not much) and then real life got in the way. Few years later, I have more time and resources and am ready to get back into the action (an keep the poor hull from just sitting there.) I was wondering if there were any captains with building experience willing to guide a poor sap in his quest to build a ship. For location information I'm in North-East New Jersey, close to New York city. Local clubs and rules is 99% for sure IRCWCC. I'd add pictures and things about Des Moines but that's stuff for a build thread. Pleasure meeting you all, Andy T. P.S. Yes I know all the negatives about the Des Moines, I did my research back then. Building one anyway
Andy, nice to meet you. I'm fresh to the hobby after watching it for years as well. I'm trying to plan around life as well. Looking forward to meeting you in person with your Des Moines.
We have battlers in Philadelphia, Maryland, New York. I don't think anyone is active in NJ at this time. Go to IRCWCC Home Page and join our Yahoo list and you can get help electronically and perhaps locally.
