Here are mine. The Gee Bee is a discontinued Hobby Lobby ARF and the T-28 Trojan is a Parkzone RTF. It took a few more hours to assemble the Gee Bee Power for the Gee Bee is a Saito 1.20 and the controls are Hitec servos and Rx. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) it's raining this afternoon so no maiden flights today. There's always tomorrow though. Happy Holidays all.

I got a real piece of junk(not to complain but I am)-a Big Stik from cedar hobbies, this thing is huge and the covering which resembles holiday Saranwrap and it is built out of wood that is not light ply or balsa-it reminds me of the wood used in bushel baskets and fruit cratesat the farmers market and it seems heavy. I do not know how much she paid but I hope it was not much, it is thought that counts right?

Get her a diamond bracelet next year...just don't tell her it's cheap glass.[:@] Ohhh! I'm just kidding. It is the thought that counts, so don't be hard on her. She was either on a budget this year or she just doesn't know good quality in ARF's...most women don't. Drop some hints next year as to what you really want. Take your stick and enjoy it. What do you want - a wife that gets you an ARF for Christmas? or...would you settle for a tie or a pair of socks as I'm sure others have gotten. MCaaHNY!

A new truck?? None of my toys even compare. Did you have to be naughty or nice to get that? Assuming, of coarse, it was from your wife....

Did the maiden flight for the Parkzone Trojan today and it's one great flying airplane. I was really impressed with how well it performed right out of the box. A couple of clicks of trim and it was flying hands free. It's got plenty of power and does most aerobatics very well. Pretty impressive for an RTF. It took longer to charge the battery than it did to assemble the plane. Outstanding little airplane!
