GWS US thoroughly liked my review. I sent them a PDF version yesterday. Sitting in my inbox was an email full of gratitude and to show their gratitude they want to send me a kit of any GWS airplane of my choosing, no strings attached. Of course I'll still do a build log and review write up. Now I'm torn trying to decide my next adventure.

Wow, thanks for the kind words. Well, after much thinking and talking with others I responded today with a request for the green C-47. It was a super hard decision, one that any r/c pilot can only dream of. My decision involved the following:
My choice was made with the following considerations:
• Wife's top choice between the C-47 or A-10
• Been wanting a C-47 for WWII paratroop drops
• Electric twin setup is easy and has my fancy
• Wife wants to be able to buy me the stuff needed to finish the kit when I get around to building it. Buying 2 brushless motors, ESCes, and wires is cheaper and easier for her than buying 4
• Felt the C-47 had better ROG on grass capabilities than the C-130

To be sure, whenever I am able to get around to building the kit (several months from now and when I'm no longer sleep deprived) I'll get a build log going and write up a review.

awesome! If I was ever going to do a twin, it would be the C-47. My buddy has a large scale one (partly built) that he keeps trying to sell me...maybe some day... :)

Attended Warbirds Over Dixie in Randleman, NC, with the High Point club today.

I found the sweet spot for aileron throws today: full recommended with 10% expo. Aileron rolls were axial and with authority.

Elevator still is too much on full rates with 10% expo. She just rolls out of loops with that much throw in the elevator.
