New Carrier Project (Halifax)

[Ralph Volkert]

Flying Tanker, welcome to the fold! Is there a name with that handle?
Is there a story behind that handle?

My carrier was finally delivered just prior to Canada Day too! I will pass on the best advice I got when I first joined....

...I wouldn't get too carried away until I had the right manuals ..
"Mr Manual",Joel Bellrose has all the right manuals you need..

....and more!

Joel was very helpful in helping to determine what manuals were a good start for my carrier and he is a good person to get in touch with! Those manuals were worth their wieght in gold! (Thanks again Joel!)

The next thing to recommend, is to learn to search the forums!!!!! You would not believe the info that is there! All the guys that are here were once newbies too and had a lot of the same questions that you and I are going to have.

Have fun! And keep us updated on your progress! Post plenty of pics!
