Well i don't know if buying yourself a plane for xmas counts, but i've bought myself a Great Planes Big Stik 40 and OS FS .72a.
It will be my little project when i return from holidays. My Wife and daughter are visiting her family for 10 days more than me so i'm looking forward to 10 evenings of uninterrupted hobby time.

He doesn't have them posted on that link, but I went to his site.. turbofanelectrics.com and I showed him another link to a site that had them for $120.00 plus shipping $20.00
Can you beat this price? http://shop.chuckshobbies.com/produc...&categoryId=53
He said He could beat that and sell it for $130 shipped.. with Fan and motor..

I bought myself a SebArt Wind 110 for an early Christmas present. This year (and last year) I just asked for gift certificates to some big online hobby shops to outfit my planes. Last year I got a 69" Yak for my birthday in late October and got some fancy high-end servos with the Christmas money; plan on doing the same this year. Servos are one expense that adds up quickly (especially high end/precision models) so this has been a great way to defray the costs.
I hope for the day to have a significant other who puts airplanes under the tree

Hanger 9 bluenose is under our tree
I don't care if there are too many mustangs, there is a reason for that[watch the tuskegee airmen].I had a great planes ''stang" and ever since the day it went straight in have wanted another p-51. I got the slimline undead ace pilot from my sons for the bluenose under tree also. In light of how George Preddy died I will name his plane something else though, like Spector II or Grey Ghost, Miss Ghastly or some other "haunted name.
