I'am new to r/c warship combat, But i'am not new to r/c controls. I have build airplanes. So I would like to try my hands at warships, you can only do so more with planes. I would like to build a Destroyer in honor of my Grandfather-in-law.
I'm sure an admin will help before long. Here's a place to get started since a whole bunch of things just changed but some things are nationally recognized now. RC Warship Clubs
I think that page is horribly out of date and woefully incomplete. Iowa is toward @Bob H's area, he may know if there is an active group there. I think there are some folk in the Iowa area, but I'm not 100% on that or their status.
Ya, I noticed off the bat a few are missing but I thought the page would try to help him a little. Really, I guess the forum is going to have more info. Glad you chimed in!
No one is right next to you. That's pretty typical for this hobby. We have: JP & Company in Chicago Steve is just across the border from you in Indiana Lars & Dan in Cedar Rapids Kevin, Kevin & Rick in the St Louis/Farmington area. Tom & Rick in KC Then there is the MN/WI group of 15 or so people. There is a battle Memorial Day Weekend in Farmington, MO. If you can make it that is a great way to get started. If you don't have a ship just let us know and we'll make sure a spare is on hand for you to use. If you really want to go crazy there is a battle in New Orleans area at the end of March.
Nick, I think you would right, 1/144 is not a good scale to start with for me. 1/96 is too big right now. Is there a scale in between them that would work better.
Big gun is 1/144 as well. Queens Own is 1/72 and battlestations is 1/96. You can build a destroyer in 144, its just not easy and not suggested as a first build.
i will second not building a destroyer in 1/144. mine is almost ready but not really.... alot of messing with things and not as simple to rout anything.
