GO COLTS!!!!!
Hey fixxen, That looks like the same plane that my club is putting together for their winter project. Last I heard, they have about fifteen that they are building. I wish I had joined in on the build, but with my work schedule and already building the Cub, I knew I wouldn't have the time. One of my club members posted a video of is in flight. They look like a lot of fun to fly!

Welcome Mars Rover! That is badass! A Twilab!! Got vids?

Planefixer, yes thats the Polaris and they are a blast. Like I said before they are as much fun if not more on the ground. They track and steer great in the fluffy snow and in the water they are awesome. You really should dedicate some time to the project. Its well worth it. For about $12 in foam and a $40 motor/esc setup its a must build. I would rather be sitting here telling you about me flying my T~~~T but it looks like it may be awhile before the weather clears up. So when given lemons, you make lemonade.

You must have missed a few pages waay. There was quite a discussion, like D.O.G said, about the color. Its hideous. Looks white in that pic but its actually a creme color. Not good

That A bom looks pretty cool. Just a twist of profile

So the subject is women....is it? Well, I know NOTHING about that subject......not a frickn' thing.....ask my wife.....she'll tell ya! All I do know about women is that they can't exist without some type of tension in their lives....and if they don't have any.......they go out and make some!

If it wasn't for my wife I'd be a bachelor!

There's this young man in one of my classes.......28 single....owns an old farmstead (33 acres) with workshop, barn, and house. The guy's hunting dogs sit on the sofa with him. He does dishes when he needs to. He has his rifles and guns where they can easily be accessed for a quick coyote kill out any of the windows......and he tells me he's lookin' for a good woman....like my wife, but younger(he works with her)....I looked him straight in the eye and asked if he was loco! "Don't give it all up for some poontang.......it ain't worth it!" I tell him, but his eyes are glazed over and he ain't hearing me. He's thinking about snuggling up to all that softy goodness! What a waste....another perfectly good bachelor in his death throes! The effect that the female pheromones have on the opposite sex is devastating!

WELCOME MARS ROVER!

LOL I meant thats weird about the quake LOL

Snowman sounds to me like you should recruit this guy into the RC world soving 2 problems at the same time.
1 he will have a hobby he spends the rest of his time and money on. eluding a close call.
2 you'll get a partner in the RC world and sounds to me like a flying field at the same time. and you can save his soul.
after all isn't that why your studying so hard, to save lives
Just think how glorious it would be to already save your first patient before you gradiated and all.

Waay I think about a month or so now it has been out there.

Planefixer,, Great vid loved how it switched views. at first I didn't even realize it I was watching and thought Hey why is everything now moving forward and Where the did the tail go I musta blinked lol I especially loved the side view loop, I always use to have to yell to my kid to look out the side of the coaster in those loops to really get the full effect lol

Just buy a V2 and re-cover it with sickly vibrant circus tent colors and don't forget the evil clown. And thanks to the Twisted for all of the welcomes.

Speaking of women, can someone draw me a sexxy vampire mermaid that would be easy to cut out of iron-on film?
