what other electric toys do you have

[Bill-SOCAL]

The correct term is Mind Meld. The problem is, you gotta have something for the electronics to meld with. The market is a lot smaller than with standard RC - few of the Fut users have the necessary equipment :D

You will clearly have a copyright infringement issue with the Vulcans.

I wonder how many others caught that. Too many kids around here.

Live long and prosper, Bill.

Brian - you can apparently still buy the Micron 400. I just did a little googling and found this.

His price is double what I paid in 2004. I'm on my 4th wing now, and have a spare just in case made by a friend. Airfoil is a very clean S3016.

Did a little more and found out why it's more expensive now. My wing is balsa over foam. Look at the new one!

Now totally bum me out by telling me that Goldsmith is into the F5D planes and he will place in the top 5 at the next race. He really gets on my nerves. Glad he and JD don't do boats!! Although I would pay Caroline to monocote (OK, oracover) a plane for me!!!

What I love here is almost nobody has a clue what the heck I am talking about!!! Maybe I can get Peter or John out to Legg on Monday after the show. Let them play with the 3080/8 Sniper or the Storm or something. Maybe even a gas boat.

Of course it would have a Futaba radio in it (you know, the 2.4 radio that works on water) and that might leave burn marks on their hands!!!! But I still fly my 9303 (Just don't tell anyone) so it's all good!!

Andy,
That's a cool little airplane. Bet it goes like stink with a little brushless and LiPos. Brings back memories.

I was trying to ignore the Star Trek references.

You can try, but keep in mind that resistance is futile!!

I picked up a micro heli while I wait for my boat to come in

I picked one of those up last week as well, what a blast
Now if only it would stop running into things

So once I'm assimilatated you guys are all going to catch up, right?

I used to think it was fast on 8 cells and 6V S400. You should see it go with a 20mm 3500KV! I don' t have a LiPo pack to fit it yet. Next season...

Here is what I have
A Hitec Robonova 1
Blabe mCx
Old Traxxas Stampede
Just started building RC planes out of foam.
Lots of foam to build flying wings.

Each year I try to buy myself a Xmas present. 2 or was it 3 yrs ago was the Blue SV.. Last year was Batteries. This year.... the Traxxas Rusler VXL... all I have to say is H_LY SH_T... I ran her on one of my 7.4 5350 Lipo's and once on a 8.4 hump. I can not even think what the 11.1 will do. This thing is phsycotic... really unreal. I have to think this Veleion system will kick butt in a boat... all of this on one cell. I have one complaint, the battery tray is slightly to thin to fit my side by side packs with bars in there, but reality is if you got lipos you wont use anything else.
