While shopping @ Tower I went with Arrow's suggestion on the XPD-8. I couldn't help myself, the fan and motor are worth $30

Seriously want video of that, and a review by ya. That's your mission...
I remember seeing those on Tower when I was only interested in the RC cars, and before I got addicted to flight.
They caught my eye, and I've forgot about those XPD-8's....I can't believe the price, and then after Arrow's suggestions about it, I want a couple ! LOL...
The F-16 however, way outta my league.......Your on yer own there partner....
Take care,

Jeebus...I go out of the room for an hour and you guys pepper the thread.
Dave.....I see you're an engineer by heart (LMFAO)...it'll WORK, it did on paper.
Jay....your butt is grass, and the MS. is the lawnmower. There isn't an excuse or lie big enough to cover all that (LOL).
Jeff....the F-16 looks very intimidating to be sure. It has some "weak points" out of the box, so I'm doing the research on fixes before I build. Dude...it's a plane. It uses the elevators as elevator and alieron BOTH. In otherwords...it'll fly like an arrow (no pun intended) and the controls are all on the tail end of the plane. No rudder, no ailerons...just elevons which the DX7 can be programmed for. I've seen it fly on "you-tube", and it has better/ more forgiving characteristics than the GreatPlanes L-39, or any of the other EDF's I've seen (F-15/worthogs/etc) on You-Tube.
Whew...hope I didn't miss anybody.
