new to custom building

[David Jackson]

Hey All. I have been in out of RC since I was a kid (Cox snowmobile in 1970's, gas cars in 80's) and now electric with my 11 year old. He has an toy fire engine with motorized ladder (extends, rotates, elevates) and has outriggers. I'm planning to take it on and make it R/C... Not sure where to start. I bought some aluminum L for frames. I know there is a lot to learn and figure out. I have looked on web alot but not found a good starting point.

Thanks for the help and I will keep reading other posts.
