Title: Did Santa Bring Any Nice Toys?
Post by: billscottni on December 27, 2009, 22:31:08 PM

Did anyone get anything nice at Christmas? If you did, I'm VERY jealous :x

Nearest thing to an aeromodelling item I got was a Spitfire Calendar!

Hey Bill,
No, nothing rc related this year from Santa  :(
But a bit from myself  :D  :D
Non RC, Santa brought me the new Revell glider model, the Duo Discus... Finished yesterday, looks really nice ! I'll take some photos tonight  :D
For the RC stuff, a few new projects for 2010 !  :D

If someone know of a Duo Discus fuselage  :mrgreen:

They do an LS-8 and an ASK-21 too.

Thanks Bill,

Yeah, I have the Ls8 and the ASK21 too  :)  but the Duo is the nicest of the three IMO!
Already saw the vintage ones, but a tad expensive unfortunately
