Status: offline 		i got ripped off on the hummer deal too for 30.00 but those of us who gave did the right thing. the guy who took our money and never got the plane to hummer will pay in the end.

i talked with dave at east rc a couple weeks ago and he told me the spoiler prototypes where on this side of the ocean and just waiting to make it through customs. i have not heard anything since then but i still hope to learn more soon.

Status: offline 		Yeah guys it's good to be back. Just haven't been visiting the site lately. Actually, haven't been able to fly much due to the wind. It's been really bad here in central VA. Last time I flew my BB though it flew great as usual. I let RVator fly it before we left and she dead sticked on him. Unusual for the YS to do that but it did and he brought it in across field and set it down just before the gravel road. The farmer had just cut the hay and it was laying, not raked, on the field and caught the wheels and flipped her over in the gravel. Got some rash on the top of the vert. stab thats about it.
I crashed that world models ulimate40. My 46fx died and she dropped a wing. Oh well, like they say, bi-planes, everybody needs to own at least one!
There were two "iceman" posting here I think. One looked like a teenager the other was involved somehow with the Morris Hobbies I think. whatdayasay?

Status: offline 		I may get one of the spoilers if they ever become available but that's the last plane and biggest I'll get. I'm kinda liking my smaller foam models. I have two with 38" wings, profiles, and one that weighs in a less than 10 grams. The motor is about the size of a dime. To be honest, the foam 38" wing from Charger RC is one of the best flying planes I own. Don't get me wrong, I love the BB. It's just a bit more of a hassle getting it to the field and back, plus there's the clean up of the goo. I still love the smell of nitro in the morning!

Status: offline 		Duh, this thread we're posting on. There was an ICE MAN that took up donations for US soldier to get him a Big Boy but I don't know if the guy ever got it. It all just seemed to go away. Morris Hobbies quit carrying the BB and Jerry, the creator of the Big Boy modified it and called it the Spoiler. At least I think thats how it came down. The spoiler is supposed to fly even better than the BB but I've never seen one fly in person. An NC hobbie shop supposedly has the spoiler coming out but thats too has been going on for months and months. The shop is somewhere near Raleigh NC I think. If I have some or all of this wrong please feel free to correct me.

Status: online 		Does anybody know if the Spoiler ever became available? And if not, are there plans to be had anywhere? For that matter, I would be satisfied with the plans for the Biog Boy. I had one almost ready to fly with an old OS 120 four stroke on it and it along with the rest of my rc stuff was stolen. I would really like to have one or the other.

Thanks,

Bill

Status: offline 		I have seen the Big Boy fly and was impressed. I have not seen a Spoiler but have repeatedly heard that it is a better plane. Why? What specifically makes it a better plane? I have a Big Boy kit and would appreciate knowing how I should modify it, if reasonably possible.

Status: offline 		Hi everyone. Just saw the thread was back and thought I'd see whatsup. Combat 20 I would just assemble and fly. The BB is great as is. I've had mine for years and even after several crashes it's good as ever. I flew mine first with a G26 but have since went to a YS 110. It's much better with the YS because of the weight difference. As for East RC, it does exist because RVator has visited the store. He said it's pretty nice with lots of goodies for sell. But not the Spoiler. The last I heard was that the kits are state side and in container waiting for custom inspection. "uhh yeah". I was on the list but it's been so long now I've lost interest in it. Good luck with your BB.

Status: offline 		Msg rcvd. A few projects to finish before I start on the Big Boy and will then decide what to start next. I have been acquiring kits and plans in preparation for my retirement days. I am one of those who prefers to build versus assemble an ARF. I presently have 62 kits and several old kit boxes of plans. I will enjoy retirement!

Status: offline 		I was the individual that was suppose to receive the JBB from ICEMAN when I returned from my deployment. He was a scam and never sent it. Thany you all for trying to do something great for me, it would have been nice to have received it. If anybody is hoarding a kit and wants to part with it let me know.

Status: offline 		I built the little boy and loved it. It was perfect with the YS 63, I even had it on floats. I sold it to a club member that wanted it real bad and I also gave them the plans which they now cannot find.

I will look into the Florio though.

Thanks
