Intro hello from Calgary

[petertha]

Hi everyone. My name is Peter. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. My main hobby outside of juggling family life has been RC aircraft for many years; aerobatic planes, racing & related competitions. I’ve messed around with composites & taught myself Cad for my own designs. But I’ve also had a strong itch to get into model engineering & metalworking for some time. I have a 14x40 metal lathe & RF-45 mill, slowly collecting tooling along the way. Thus far I’ve only made, small simple gadgets & parts. But my goal now is to focus more effort into this activity, improve my metal-working skills & eventually build a scale-ish IC engine (probably a radial). So many of the skills I see on forums like this will be both inspirational & educational. Nice to meet you all!
