    Apologies, didn’t follow the rules and mention a reason......love this due to its looks and it’s such a great blank canvas for so many variations on paint/squadrons. Also flies pretty darn good if you ask me :)

                  Unfortunately I only landed the F-16 on the ground without breaking the gears a handful of times.. Every time I would roll into the grass, i was replacing something with the gear. I haven't maidened my f-4 or A-4 yet, but soon. :)

                    Without a doubt, the Freewing F-4. It's the like American Express Card....don't leave home without it.

                    Second place would be a tie between the 70mm Hawk and the 70mm F-16. Both are the great planes. The Hawk flies better, but the F-16 just looks and sounds bad@$$.

                    Here's my rank:

                    1. F-4
                    T-2. Hawk (70mm)
                    T-2. F-16 (70mm)
                    3. F-86 (80mm)
                    4. Stinger 90
                    5. A-4 (80mm)

                      My list (and most of these could be interchangeable in their spots):

                      1. F-4 90mm
                      2. F-22 90mm
                      3. A-10 80mm
                      4. F-15 90mm
                      5. F-16 V2 70mm
                      6. F-18 V2 90mm

                        I've been flying since the mid 70's, but new to the EDF scene. So far the A-10 is my favortie, but all of them are fun.

                            Welcome to Hobby Squawk John! The A-10 will definately make you a believer in EDFs for sure.

                                  I love my A-10, too. 2 down sides: 1. It takes 2 6S batts to fly (for only 3 minutes? C'mon, man!), and 2. It's a really big plane that takes up a lot of room in the truck.

                                  Plane looks and sounds great, though. It's a nice one, for sure.

                                    In this order:

                                    Venom, Me-262, L-39. I have the 8S F-22 on the project board for video later this month, maybe that will make it into the top 3 ;)

                                        Well that is true, but life has its way of pushing forum posting down the pecking order of things, but we're getting there ;) Great meme BTW.

                                          Hi Stewart,

                                          I watched your film on the Venom. Very scale take offs in that vid. Grew up around a guy that had one of those. Your take offs were perfect! Been meaning to tell ya that for a while mate.

                                          Best Regards
                                          Woody
