I think you all know that I'm not generally one to buy RTF or even ARF models. I love tinkering and building as much or more as I love flying. But....
For my birthday last month some friends gave me a nice gift certificate to the local hobby shop. I've been up there three times since looking for something to spend it on...and keep striking out. They're mostly cars/trucks but do carry Horizon - but mostly only have coaxial helis and planes. The planes are more than my GC and available cash would cover (well, the ones I want...I could afford a champ but don't really want one.)
And they don't really stock supplies that I need for most things and aren't interested in getting them in. If they had 6x4.5" props I'd have blown the whole GC on them
There is one thing from Horizon I've had my eyes on...but the local store hasn't had it and I haven't wanted to order it...but today...they had it:
I've been wanting to try and build a 3D quad for awhile...but with the GC this was more affordable and quicker Plus I wanted a nano for flying in the house anyway...two birds one stone I figure.
Pack just finished charging so I guess I'll go see how this does Little breezy today for flying out side and don't think my ceilings are high enough to fly inverted in the house...so we'll see how much fun I actually have with it today....
