My wife has bought me a couple of new planes and some Spektrum receivers
as an anniversary present.
All I need to do now is learn to fly properly
The first one is the Ultrafly F16 pusher prop model

This next one is the HET Super Tucano model

Looking forward to many happy hours flying these.

nice work dad, but you didnt tell them what you had to buy mum..

i ve just bought myself a new plane also.. i went a parkzone t28 trojan, i believe at low control throw rates this bird will behave enough for me to learn on.. i also liked the wealth of information on the net for customisation as they are popular and have been around for a long while now... my plan is to add the flaps as shown in picture below and once ive mastered her upgrade to a turnigy 35-36 with plush 40 amp on 3 or even perhaps 4s and max thro rates as found on various youtube vids for unlimited vertical (massive torque but not the speed of a stryker) anyways i picked it up plug and play for $209 and just need to add 3s 2200mah and my ar6200, ill be airbourne very soon!

also happy wedding aniversary for tomorrow ill see you at lunch time.. i figure if i get it out there now it might stop a drunk dialling incident from the city at 12:01 tonight

Don't worry about errant Electrafun's mate, its now wedged beautifully in the sky out of harms way!

Can't wait to see the Trojan go

Yea can't hit anyone from where it's at.
Tried to hit it with a tennis ball this afternoon
but it was out of my range.
I'm going to bring a tennis racket with me in the morning.
If that fails I'll have to use the wire cutters and cut a path
through the barbed wire and climb the tower. (Stalag 17)
I was just getting the hang of that plane, can't leave it there...
