MikeL,
That is funny about aquiring all of your birds this winter. I feel the same way, I picked up a twister 36 to put my .52 FS on, while I waited for the Giles, I am also about to pick up a Simple Stick EP from HP, if they have any mid-week. I want to put BL and a lipo on that, and also electrify the Giles sometime early this summer when I am caught up on everything else. Oh yeah, I bought a 4* 40 as a "Project plane" in November that I have 1/2 way covered. Crazy! I have 3 planes that I have flown and the potential for another 4 that I won't fly until maybe April.

I too rememebr ordering a JC Penny catalog Baja Bandit RC Truck when I was probably also in 6th grade (1990) and waiting for what seemed like months, same thing. I nearly peed my pants when it finally came. patience is such a virtue, it is too bad this hobby can rob you of it (that's my theory).

Glad to hear about the weight of the Giles, it sounds like it will convert pretty easily to BL.
