Flew 20 years ago, brought a trex 600, three months ago, havnt crashed yet, surprised how easy it was to pick up again.
Joined a little club just outside Peterborough, two minuets from the house. Looking forward to the summer!

I am also a geek smile i used to build and fly model airplanes, I would spend 6 months building them, and then crash them within the week, but the building part was fun, last one i did had a 6 ft wingspan and had garfield as the pilot, i always used to let them get out of signal range them watch them helplessly fall out of the sky.

I admired Mikes collectinon of RC racing cars and drag cars last time i was there, but it seems i had a nerve with the wife as she was trying to sell them to me behind his back , lol smile

Crikey us Noble owners do seem to have a few other interests in common !

I have my first flying lesson lined up and I know I will get bitten by the bug !

it is supposed to be the best time ever to buy a plane right now - 20k will get you something really quite decent

what is a good model plane / helicopter to start with ?

indeed, very nice, the black parts suit the green hulk (power/weight) very well.
a well sorted car, personally styled for the finishing touch.

Does look class! I think the colour contrast with the black areas makes it!

So i see this thread that says "what do you think guys"......being the curious type i took a peak AND FRIKKIN WOW. way to totaly dominate a thread pal.

I have spent 8 hours today (at work apparently) staring at Nobles and alloy wheels thinking away, then i decided to join a Noble forum (don't know why it took me so long) and i see this green monster that totally made me realise i had just wasted 8 hours of my life. Tomorrow out of respect i am going to stare at your car for 8 hours to make up for it Tux.

by the way do you get a better shine from a wrap than normal paint job. Cheers, all the best and really really good effort.

That colour is so sexy,together its a blend better than nescafe could made.

its an incentive to all of us that these car's can be played with and come out every time looking new and fresh.

And nobody knows any different....except the Nobility of course.

Even I've started dabbling around mine now.......Its Awesome.
