Greetings from Austria

Hi!

My name is Thomas (40) and I am from Styria/Austria.

In my early teenage years i started to build GELI aircrafts, which was very common at this time in Austria. Later i lost contact with this hobby.

2010 was an exhibition in Austria about William Nordberg (sorry didn't found an english site)
and his work at NASA for example the first weather satellite TIROS 1.
Later he also earned the NASA Distinguished Service Medal

After visiting this exhibition i searched the Net for more Information and found nielspapermodels.
nielspapermodels - Tiros weather satellite by J.Cohn

I was instantly hooked to this hobby again and I build this satellite and the launcher Thor-Able II.


Since than i also joined this forum but never post anything, just watching. (yeah i now shame on me ;) )

Now i am also part of the modelbuildergroup around Kurt (Styrian Spitfire) and Raimund (rkelterer) but i am way more less productive as many members of this group. Hopefully there is no competition in any way. :)

So maybe i'm able to add something to this great community.

Best regards
Thomas
