Folks on RCG are reporting that their orders are showing up.

I guess I'm a little different. I place the order, and then don't worry about it. I'll read the threads, but only to keep aware of others' experiences. If things go wrong, I'll call my CC company and get them straightened out. I doubt I'll have to do that. I've got some HS-55s waiting for when my Christen Eagle shows up.

I started putting together my Cox Giles this weekend. The covering took a little work to get tight, but not more than any other ARF. It's a really nicely dine color scheme. I have the wing joined, and should get to working on the tail feathers tomorrow. So far I'm impressed with the construction and weight. I expected it to be slightly on the piggy side, as it's listed at 5.5lbs. My fuse/wing together weight 1lb, 10oz. My Magnum .52 comes in at 1lb with the muffler. I anticipate being a bit over 4lbs total, which should fly well.

I'm having a particularly hard time resisting the deals this winter. World Models is blowing out some of their older designs, and I picked up a Fun World 3D for $112.99 shipped. Not bad for a well-reviewed 70.5" plane. Now I just have to find enough servos and a small gasser for it. I'm never going to get caught up... I have two kits that I really should finish for this summer, two more "in progress", two others waiting to be started, and a host of small electrics that need to be built. I'm starting to think that my hobby is buying, rather than flying.
