Hello from Wichita

[letzrok]

How is everyone doing? I'm Clayton from Wichita, KS. I work as a Machinist in a large company that supplies complicated machining and assemblies to the aircraft industry.

I'm into rc hobbies. I have airplanes, helicopters, quadcopters, cars, and I'm working on walking robots. I dig fast cars and cool bikes. Hope to build a café racer sometime this year.

Looking forward to building my first miniature engine this year as well. I see a lot of great info on these forums and hope to gain even more knowledge here. And maybe I can contribute some knowledge from my 20+ years of experience.

I don't have a home shop yet but I do have some access some machines from time to time.

Welcome Clayton, from far off Australia. I'm sure that you will pick up a lot from the site, and we will look forward to further postings from you.

clayton, are you familier with the yard store on central across from the dairy? that is a great place to buy aluminum stock and used tooling. my daughter lives there and every time i visit I manage to find something I need at the yard.

@Steve, I know the yard store well. Have not been there for a while but it is the best place for supplies in Wichita.

@WSM, I'm not totally decided. Probably the ez-beginners engine first. Then the basic elbow looks interesting. Of course I want to build a big ol honkin hemi v8, but I think it can wait a while. I know I have the skills, but definitely not the equipment or time right now for such a project.
