    All I ever get is a lump of coal. :cry:



    (Well, last year it was 19 small shiny lumps of coal (diamonds) on a new gold wedding band - but it didn't have ailerons or nothin'!) ;)

    I think the first plane I'll build will be a EPP Eagle.

    That is, If I can ever get sketchUp to work like I want it too. Even after 3DMon gave me lessons I still have been having problems with get it to put out the correct G code.

    For me a simple tail replacement on a Slow-V. The kid doing my yard has gathered up enough equipment to convert from the stock 'bad joke' radio to a 'better joke' radio. The new system has no V-tail mixing and I could build a sliding tray, but, he's a kid and needs to learn the basics of repair. Which I'm sure he will because we're also going 300w brushless. Time for a throttle stop on the tx. :p

    After that, for myself I'm doing an up-scaled to 40'' Pocket Knife designed Lee Unlinger (http://www.leeulingermodels.com) Lee gave me the OK to up scale one for myself. We've been flying buds since he was six or so. Wow, where did 30 years go, seemed like yesterday. I'm not much on bipes but this thing has no roll coupling at a lite loading so I'm game.

    Then its planes for the new kid. I think he's going to go through the speed freak thing first, then probably 3D, and then hopefully settling into thermal duration. Fine with me.

    Oh yeah, I've got a plan to 4D invert hover sustained. Just need the youngster to mature a little on the practical limits of the medium we use. It's a high part count design.
