[RCSE] Re:F3J is not for me...or my Pikes :-(
Well does not matter if it is F3X or whatever. The tree elephants are cruel... Today one of them jumped out and grabbed my Pike while I was fiddling with my camera to get some landing shots. But 30min in the workshop made it happy again (it is and will always be a comp. model so a scratch or two is ok..) I dont have any fancy car but got to testdrive and testfit my modelbox here the other day. http://www.workflow.as/jogrini/diary/813morgan/morgan_model.jpg http://www.workflow.as/jogrini/diary/813morgan/morgan1.jpg But I think I would rather buy some more planes than a new car. Oh btw it is brand new (the car). 500 built each year. Richard Hammond was going to have this color (ordered a few days after) but they dont produce two similar cars so he had to choose something else...
