WOW......that was great. I wish that I could get what you had. For now I only have a Superstar and a Somethin' Extra and don't even come close to the radio that you have. I only have a 6EXA.....a good radio for now but wished that I could've afforded a better one so I wouldn't have to keep going up in radio. WOW.......Are you in competition or what? That hovering was awesome. I'm gonna get a Funtana or UCD so I can do what you're doin. How long have you been flying mAvRiCk??..... I'm 15 and just been goin at this for 2 years. Gotta pay for everything I got. 2 planes: Superstar and Somethin' Extra and my radio: 6EXA.....do you pay for your stuff..??.......WOW........

27% Hangar 9 Edge 540

Morris Hobbies Topcap

Attitude

I like to keep my hangar small because you can only fly one plane at a time right.

I buy ALL my equipment from my Futaba 6TXAS to my newest Futaba 9CAP pcm.

Age 12 I started working as a certified soccer referee every weekend. Now I work part time at the local hospital doing pacemakers, halter moniters, and computer work. My buddy and I designed a website from scratch using HTML code and created www.cafreestyle.com dedicated solely to RC.

I would say I earned what I have and every penny of it. I feel I accomplished enough for how old I am.

Right now, saving for a 33% Fiberclassics Extra 330L
