    Been into RC planes for a bit now (much to my wifes dismay) and came across this hobby. Having always been a WW2 naval buff, it naturally got my attention, so I joined. Only concern is .,. I do not see alot of action in SE iowa or near abouts :(

    There are a few guys in IA.
    Lars in Cedar Rapids
    Dan in Waterloo
    There was someone else in IA who's been looking around this forum, sounds like he was in high school. Cornwall, IA I think.
    There's a couple of guys in KC, MO. A couple in St Louis. A few in Chicago. There's a large group in Minneapolis, MN.
    Every year we have a Memorial Day battle in Farmington, MO, just south of St Louis. We drive right by you. There are several pounds along the freeway we've thought might be nice battling ponds. Look for one that's at least 1/2 of a football field and neck deep or less.

    A late hello and welcome aboard! Fear not the lack of battling in your immediate area, all you need is one friend, two ships and a pond!

    Welcome!

    I've decided to build a boat regardless of the number of active RC naval Combat folks here. If anything I have heard of a model sailboat club nearby. My plan is to show up with my guns loaded.. you know the rest.... I am just kidding of course. Seriously though, building and modeling are fun. Will keep me busy.
