Hi
I am quire new to the model game after making a few as a child (only plastic airfix type kits) then a couple of ships a few years ago whilst recovering from surgery. Anyway, my son has expressed an interest in electronics and remote controlled items so we started thinking about a project would could both do and learn from each other.
So we have decided to start with a model kit, probably 1/350 scale - dont care what yet but i want to be able to teach him about each part required, transmitter, reciver, servos etc etc.
Anyway, i can roughly explain things but want to firstly check i know what i am talking about and then ensure i give him the correct terminology and get things right before we spend loads of my hard earned cash.
So, does anyone know either any books/magazines we could get hold of (we live in australia). Recommend any websites we can learn from?
You help is greatly appreciated
