You're one of the lucky ones. I'm sticking with occasional dating...variety and low cost! :Whew:

Just don't ever want to come home to something like this!

Got excited there for a second. Just went to the Coming Soon page and saw that a new entry had been added, but it was just for the UMX F-27 (Stryker) FPV plane. :Angry:

Wow, no wonder I never looked ay my order history. I just started ordering from MRC October of 2016. I ordered a Stinger 90 to replace an old Habu that bit the dust. To date I have spent $4136.97. I guess that's not to bad...only comes out to about $410 dollars a month...

I have a very understanding wife for 29 yrs and I have been flying 32 yrs, in fact she has seen me trade, swap, buy and sell so much she doesn't even go out to my shop anymore to see my new EDF's, kind of miss that though, nothing like showing off a new A-10 to your honey.........:).

[Evoman]

It is always impressive how dedicated some of you guys are for this hobby buying up just about every plane that comes out. I only have 4 airplanes and I already feel I have one too many plus I don't have much space in my tiny condo. But I am willing to make space for plane types I don't have yet like a twin which will likely be the Tigercat and I am still trying to decide on which EDF to go with.
If the A4 can generate this much commotion I could only image how it will be when the F-4 Phantom finally comes out.

My wife pretends to care, it's cute. She at least always learns the name of the new one I'm obsessing over. It always makes me double take when she asks me something like,"Did your A-10 show up yet?" lol

[RCjetdude]

I am that guy in the middle... Hi, my name is Steve and I am an RC Plane addict.... :Crying2:

[borntoolate]

Reading what you guys have posted on your expenditures at MRC made me check my purchases. I am now sorry I did! Since April 2013, I have spent more than $11k.:Scared:
I should have stayed blissfully ignorant!

I am embarrassed to say what I spent on stuff from MRC. I started counting last night and quit at 13K. Ouch! However, my wife says it is okay with her. She argues that I earned the right to spend what I want to after all these years taking care of the family. She knows I have no more room for planes now except for one- the A4. I was one of MRC's first customers. After all, it is only money and it is not worth anything until you spend it :P

This is why I sold my boat last year. The wife would never tag the pick-up like that...

[Felixs10]

Hello Ryan and Tom any Ideas on when the pre-order will be up ? Last week on your FB page whoever responds for you said within the week , we are now close to the end of the following week. Just looking for an update or a pre-order option .. The silence is deadening ..

[RCjetdude]

Please Lord don't let it be before 2:00 AM Eastern Time tomorrow.... That's when I get paid again. LOL

[CFIT rob]

Its not my integrity that would keep me from infidelity....its coming home to see my aircraft in one busted up pile of foam and balsa. The horror.... Im on the fence with the a4. Purely asthetics. I do like the two seater more for some reason. Isreali scheme. Anyone notice the extended exhaust on them? Heatseeker counter measure. Gotta love their inginuity. Side note, four years and 5 grand later only 1 $0.00 warranty shipment. Love motion RC(motion...ive only cheated on you when i HAD too.)

[themudduck]

I think it will be any day now. They're just waiting for the boat to sail.

Here's a pic of the Israeli Scooter - bigger 2-seat cockpit, no hump, short refueler, longer exhaust pipe. Pretty sweet!

It's like eating your own young. Now I'm thinking I'm going to have to sell my F7F TigerCat to help fund the A-4.

[RCjetdude]

Interesting analogy.... did make me chuckle though. :)

[spec450]

I feel like you'll regret selling the Tigercat though.

[TomPatton]

Yes, exactly what be said!!!

:saywhaOHHHHH NOOOOO, think hard about that. There's got to be something else to go before that;)

[Evoman]

Out of the airplanes you have listed I would much rather sell the F9F and L-39.
