Hello from Newquay Cornwall!
Hi all. I am a total newbie and have just purchased my first scanner, a Uniden Bearcat UBC125XLT. I am interested in civil and military aircraft transmissions. I live 1.5 miles from Newquay airport. I used the standard rubber duck for the first 2 days, but now have a mag mount car aerial and wow, what a difference! For the last week I have mainly drove close to the airport on high ground with good visibility all round. I am thinking of driving a little further out to higher ground to see what I can get. Even where I am at now, with the mag mount I can clearly pick up Bristol and even Shannon. I don't seem to get anything from Culdrose military though as yet. I have found some good frequency listings online and have related frequencies grouped into bands. I am so impressed with the clarity of what this little scanner can do. I also fly RC electric gliders (full size Radians) with my 10 year old son.

I am sure we have quite a few scanner enthusiasts whom can help you get going. I'd be interested in seeing some pictures of your RC activities too, sounds cool!
