Default R/C Christmas Gift Ideas?

I'm looking for some ideas for some R/C related gifts. I'm not looking to buy a new plane, servos, radio.. I already have glow plugs on the list but I need some more ideas. What would you like under the tree?

Tell us some more about yourself, how old, what plane do you have, glow/electric, what kind of gadgets do you have, do you have tools, power tools, are you interested in kit building, do you wear prescription glasses ??????

Oh yeah and most important, what price range do you want to stick with ????

Something I think is reasonable to see under my tree is the Anglepro Deflection/Incidence meter ($60), a Great Planes C.G. Machine ($25), and a new metered aluminum glow plug driver ($22).

This is a great post 'cause I have a family member who's into electric and I have no idea what to get him.

I'd lean towards the gift card idea. It's tough to get something for an RCer that they really want, but don't already have.

Another idea would be to get something from the Historic Aviation catalog:

I really like some of the Hawaiian shirts they have of Pacific fighters and bombers. They have a lot of nice display models as well.

Good luck

A suitcase filled with cash, large sums, would be nice.

Best Regards,

I was also thinking about some AMA gear. I've got the AMA hoodie and wear it...a lot I know my family member just joined and is excited about it.

What about a nice name tag w/AMA number for radio case?

Lights for a plane could be a good idea for anyone with scale stuff.

Wing bags if you have an idea what size plane (they make them for one and two piece wings).

Some of the guys at my club use radio trays, with nice wide neck straps. I know there are some specifically made for JR/Spektrum radios. Would be nice especially for one of those weirdos that pinches his gimbals (just kidding, we're all weirdos).
