    Hello all, noob from ohio here. Watched a couple videos of the battles and was hooked. Now to the building.... Most likely going to build a treaty boat as I see there are a few in Ohio that run treaty. Very interesting hobby as I look into more of it.

    Ohio has all three formats: There is a big gun club, a club that uses IRC rules and treaty, so.... find out which battlers are closest to you.

    Welcome to the hobby, and the site.
    There are plenty of r/c combat folks and action in Ohio, so you almost can't go wrong.
    This is the time of year when the battling is starting to wind down, but try to attend some battles being held by the various clubs if you can, before we move into the building season.
    Meet the folks. See the boats. And we will try to help you get a boat on the water.
    Good hunting.

    You are not too far from Ravenna, Ohio.
    We have Treaty battles there. So Treaty would be a good option.
    And we are trying to draw a local big-gunner out of retirement from Akron as well. We generally invite the big-gunners up to our Treaty battles, to battle
    in between our sorties. He has dropped in on two of our events in the past, but has not gotten any of his ships opperational. But we are still trying.
    So big-gun might be an option as well.
