HELLO
« on: April 24, 2012, 02:57:35 AM »
I have been building R/C models for over 55 years. M collection at this time is 115 boats, 58 airplanes, 8 heli's, 14 cars, 6 trucks, 1 hover craft, and 1 blimp.
Some of my collection and my history can be seen at www.jsgill.net
The Paddle powered boats right now are the Delta Queen 1/87 scale Mississippi river boat, 1787 John Fitch the 1st US steam boat, Double-cat a 1/12 scale Delaware river manpowered racing raft, and now the HOPATCONG a 1900 steam launch.

Yes I do, I produce kits, JSG Designs. It will be added to my list as soon as I finnish several others.  Building a model is very differant from producing a good set of plans and a kit.
