Getting ready for my big move down to the South Shore... I've decided to mostly get out of RC and focus on my books. I'm going to give the hobby a two year leave of absence while I build my house and finish my books... so haven't been around much.

RE: CMP Me109G..DREAM MACHINE! TopGun bash!
Looks like you have the basic shapes right on the money. Beules are a pain to get to look right, and as you said, most kits just have the same shaped beules. Good work on making them the right way.

Yeah, they are about 1/2" too high on the model. But moving them would be tough due to the design.

RE: EasyTiger
In otherwords, you have no proof that you have an Easy Tiger ARF Zero None. No, I'm not a lawyer, never claimed to be one either. Also please note, EasyTiger (Curtis) hasn't done business on Ebay since 2006. And as I said, when he was just buying and reselling antique, old or rare kits, he was actually quite good for the model aviation community. Its when he started selling ARFs when things started going down hill. And if you took the time to READ the feedback, its quite bad. Take Aug 2006 to Nov 2006. He did about 200 transactions. 20 of them were not good reviews, of those 20, 9 were very negative. Honestly I think its because he didn't really understand just how low quality the stuff coming out of China was, especially 5-10 years ago and he had no easy way to take care of said issues.

RE: EasyTiger
Are you honestly still defending the Bf10* that EasyTiger imports? I am now going to stop calling it a 109 because its about as far from a 109 as the 1*0 is from a 190. Are you honestly saying that I don't build and fly large scale aircraft? You still haven't posted a SHRED of proof that you own an EasyTiger ARF. Since you are such the "lawyer" its called Affirmanti, non neganti incumbit probatio. We are still waiting.

RE: EasyTiger
Yeah, thats why I own a CMP 109 and not the Easy Tiger. =) I think I'm going to finish that one up as soon as my move is done. Nope, I know nothing! Build nothing! Fly nothing! I'm a liar, a cheat and a fraud! vallawyer, a lawyer that doesn't own a digitial camera, says so! So it must be!

RE: EasyTiger
Yes, the CMP Bf109 is a bit of a joke. The funny thing is, its even better looking than the "Bf 109" and I use that LIGHTLY, that Easy Tiger offers. And how was I "outed"? I've always said I build much more than I fly, but I do both. I'm willing to bet, more than you for either. We are still waiting for images of your EasyTiger planes.... Remember folks: [image]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/200680_1760760072266_1636988834_1665243_1727756_n.jpg[/image] And just to let people know, EasyTiger is listed on BBB as Easytiger Films, Inc. BBB processed a total of 4 complaint(s) about this business in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period.

Wonder why they are doing 50cc for this bird. Its nearly the same size as say the T28, Val, La-7Hurricane all of which are shooting for smaller motors.
