LLLAAAAWWDDDD...Ah want one. Wanted one ever since I saw someone racing a yellow 3ft long catamaran from off their boat in Buccoo lagoon some years ago. I remember standing on the beach, transfixed at this miniature craft blazing across the water. It was a really calm day too...no chop, so the driver really had a time with it.

Try to make some vids of the Cessna in action eh...you making me want one too.

Boy, if what I do have in mind IF I get that boat, becomes a reality. I think it'll really boost the the R/C thing over here in Tobago. I love the boats too, it's just that all I thought you could get were nitro(gas) ones.

The salt water can be a real pain although they're sealed, so fresh water gonna be the real deal. I hate how much cleaning etc has to go in to caring for a nitro car/boat/plane after use to prevent corrosion and blockage so after seeing that boat and the rooster tails it's kicking up!! I instantly wanted to get it lol.

The UPS guy delivered to plane home today so when I head home will take some shots and surely will post up vids of flight. I CANNOT WAIT TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW!!!

Man now I know how ppl get a plane, then a helicopter, then another plane and another helicopter......... jeez it's like you're a kid and want the whole store but now you can somewhat afford it lol.

Apart from the plane and boat I also want a truck, the RUSTLER is the one I'm leaning towards out of the three in this video. Theyare electric btw...

Helis lookin sweet Arc.

I now realise I didn't put an update to my previous post about the plane.

Well........first two attempts at flight resulted in crashes lol. Front landing gear got owned and thought I had killed the motor but with some good old crazy glue and patience it's as good as new.

Been trying ever since to have the right weather conditions (very little or no wind) to try again but the weather has been sucky ever since.

Think my gf have the vids of the horrific crashes lol on her phone but I'll couple those with achieved flight whenever that occurs.....

Since then pops bought a Hovercraft, yea a fricking Hovercraft.......lol
