In brief

I'm 37 years old, I live close to Nancy (France) with my wife and her 2 children. And yes, English is definitely not my natural language .
No dog, no cat but fishes live at home... and more and more RC models.

Job

I worked for several companies, either in France or Spain, either in import-export and logistics, office equipment and software. I've been working in hifi and home cinema for 5 years.

Hobbies

Movies: I'm found of theaters, good sound and image. My DVD collection is quite huge, too much says my wife...
Music, hard rock in particular. I listen to very different kinds of music: as soon as there's both rhythm and melodies, there are chances I like it. Rap, electronic and classical music are not included in my playlists, except very rare exceptions.
Reading science fiction is also a hobby (Asimov, Van Vogt, Eschbach...) as well as thrillers (Loevenbruck, Ayerdhal, Ligny...).
Computer stuff: I'm especially interested in what I can do with it, like making this site for example.
Go kart that I practice quite often: a few centimeters above the ground, you feel like going real fast.
RC models (of course). I like building a kit, restoring it and driving it.

Black Hole Sun

This is my nickname on message boards. It means several things: first, it is a Soundgarden piece of art, but also a fascination for black holes and my great interest for anything related to space. Black Hole Sun is a paradox in astronomy: a sun and a black hole can't live close to each others.
Metaphorically, the sun creates life (well, not too close) when the black hole is its absolute opposite (as far as science knows about them). These are two aspects of my personality, both smiling and sad sometimes.
I'm often referred to BHS (quiet useful in video games ).

My avatar on message boards (in particular Hardware.fr and Vintage-RC): it comes from the Coverdale/Page album cover. I love the musical atmosphere and the symbol of two tracks gathering to a common destination. May be Dave Coverdale (Deep Purple) and Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) thought about this when making this album.

Sales / Trades

For sales, that's easy: none of my models is for sale. I pile up, I store, but I don't sell... and I make deals with the wife. Please don't contact me for advices on how to manage your RC relationship with your wife: I get busy enough with mine

For trades, I might be interested in buying some models, whatever their age or their state. Feel free to contact me.
