HI Timothy,

Wow!On that year when you started electronics, i was not born yet! Thanks for sharing your background about electronics and your encouraging words to those who are already in this repair field and those who are just starting out. Thanks for showing the website too. Take care!

Hi Jestine;
I thought I'd drop a line to say keep up the passion! I started in electronics in 1964 when I built my first project, an FM transmitter so I could play 45 records and receive the music on my portable radio while I was around the yard and house. The next year I joined the Navy and went to electronics school and became an electronics technician. When I started tubes were the norm and transistors were new. I had the passion for electronics then and have never left my trade. Today I am a self employed electronics technician & engineer who designs and builds prototypes, does electronics repair, and writes windows software. I've never lost my passion for electronics and probably never will. Repair work to me is an art form and most enjoyable. I get a kick out of challenging myself believing that I am smarter than the problem I need to fix. To any who would consider electronics as a hobby or trade... Go for it! You'll never regret it. Electronics is one of those rare trades that applies to anything you can think of. Electronics might seem a bit daunting but in reality it's not. After a few years of experience you start becoming comfortable with your understanding of how things work and your understanding of theory at the hands on practical level. Keep up the passion! You can check out my company at the above posted web site.
ciao!

Hi Jorge,

This is one of my RC helicopter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW6DsJ5P6oo

As for the project, you can try search "electronic design forum" in Google. There must be someone that is good in electronic design in those forum that can help you out. Have a good day!

Hello Jestine,
I have never seen an RC Helicopter only on TV. But they look like fun. A secret project that I have been researching on is building a Wind Generator. This is to produce energy and store in 12 volt batteries for use in a house. Then the DC voltage can be changed to AC using an inverter. This specific project in electronics has me excited. Anyone who has experience and can give me help is really appreciated.

Hi Jorge,

Degree in physics but like electronics-that's good. Yes learning new things is always beautiful. This is the same case when i try to fly RC helicopter. It crashed many times and i changes lots of parts. For every crash i know what my mistake was and now I'm quite good in flying my RC helicopter. You will be excited to see all the waveforms in the circuit lines. Still working on the ebook and in the final phase.

Hi Waleed,

I used to play football too during school days but now already lost contacts with the players. Video editing is quite fun and profitable too. My brother have the same passion with you. He always had a camera with him wherever he go.

I love electronic repairs. when I was a kid, I always liked to open this up and most of the time, break it but end up learning about things inside it. I also like to play football (not american football). also love to take photos with cameras and also video tape with professional video camera. I have worked with the canadian tv for almost ten years. I love taking video, with audio and put them together using a computer program and edit the whole thing.

Hello Jestine, greetings again. I always like electronics as I did an associates degree in physics in school. But destiny made me become a chemical engineer in food processing. However my neighbourhood suffered a flood last year for the first time that destroyed all electronic appliances. So I took a course at penn foster to learn basic electronics. My hobby was reading, but now I do electronics as a hobby. My wife agreed that I could use up to 1000 US a month for my hobby, but see it is far less. Now I am addicted learning all new things, its beautiful. I sent to buy my digital scope this week and I can't wait to see those signals at the pin of ic's, base of HOT,etc.

And one thing more, I can't wait for the new book

Thanks and best regards
Jorge
