Perhaps the objective of this Poll Thread might not be clear from OP, however, I own and fly lots of RC Foam Models both from FMS (Airfield) and Park Zone and E-Flite.

Yes, E-Flite has the foam Hawker Hurricane 25e and originally got it used at a good deal and burned up some Gasoline to pick it up as it was a Local Pickup Sale and was considering to re-sell it and since it has NOT sold, I decided to go fly it and produce a Demo Video to help the sale.

Still new in the box and just wondering "what" I should do with it?

I believe it cost me $225 Cash and some Gasoline $$ to travel and get it a few years ago.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

A few pictures:...Continue Reading
