Hi.
Just got my first RC tank (Taigen Panther G metal upgrade BB version), so inevitably I have lots of questions. Have been into RC for several years though. I fly helicopters and planes and am a member of New Hay Flying Tigers club at Paddock Wood, Kent. I also have an RC speedboat, a sail boat and cars. I also have a hornby 00 train layout running DCC.
Probably not so interesting to members of this forum but I also sing, play guitar and harmonica. I also play tennis and love watching footie.
Nominally I am the CEO of a small pharmaceutical development company but have pretty much retired.
Looking forward to talking to some of you in due course.
Cheers Tim

Re: Introducing myself
Tim Welcome to the Forum 
You seem to be an exact fit for the Forum and you could only improve things if you confessed to a lifelong love of Motorcycles,
Guitars Acoustic Electric or both 
Some of us have dabbled in that particular murky pond others are semi or better professional
I wait in anticipation for you to expound further on that subject anytime you wish
Of course we will help with any Questions you might have and who knows someone here might actually have an almost correct answer
Enjoy what is now Your Forum

I think I am about to upset someone

Welcome sir!
Very nice introduction, you'll find that many members here will confess to other passions and interest.

Re: Introducing myself
Afternoon, Tim, and welcome!
It seems that you'll have plenty to occupy yourself with, when the 'semi-retired' lifestyle becomes the 'happily past it' variety.
At the same time, I'll second old Jarndice's assessment of the typical member's CV: there's definitely a pattern there, often including Motorbikes. (...Perhaps that should be 'HV", for 'Hobbies Vitae' 
).
I play the guitar (various styles), bass, drums and a few other instruments and sing- when I have to, in order to further a fifty-year interest in multi-track recording (and songwriting). Some performing too..
I tried tennis as well, but after the ex-wife beat me, when she was 8 months pregnant with our first child, I went back to the table variety (where her 'bump got in the way ). 
Right now, I'm loving the virtual tour of France offered by 'Le Tour' and, like you., can enjoy game of footie. But, it's really not the same without the crowd's contributions.
Do tell us more about your aims in tracked and wheeled modelling.
By the by, If we need any pharmaceutical advice, we will know who to come to now.
