Did Santa Bring Any Nice Toys?
« 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
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

I hope they are going to release a few vintage ones too !

If someone know of a Duo Discus fuselage  :mrgreen:

They do an LS-8 and an ASK-21 too.
Have a look here: http://www.hastingshobbies.co.uk/acatalog/Revell___Civil_Aircraft.html#aR04266

For vintage models, (a little dearer though!), try hre:

Lovely Discus Fred, and built quick 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
