Hello. I'm new to the forum too. I wouldn't describe myself as a 100% novice but I learnt an awful lot from searching the site. It's great to go off on one track and then get diverted off on another. There are loads of knowledgeable folk but most of my questions have answers already on a thread somewhere. I wouldn't let that stop you asking something specific if you want to.
My current challenge is finding a second hand TX200 so I can get the hobby started again.
All the best. Geoff
