I've got one of the bag pop-out types. It's a mother to get back in the bag.

About to wade in to 3d printing.

This Qidi Plus 4 was 5% off, free shipping, and no tax.

Reviews were favorable, and the new PPS-CF carbon fiber filament looks incredible.


Going to start with gray PLA filament, and get the PPS-CF later. Will post in the 3D Printing forum soon hopefully.

Finally joining the club. Found a goldpan around the $150 mark that hasn't been swiss cheesed. Couldn't pass it up.

That's very cool. Don't remember you saying anything fruitful about your message to Mid-America, and coming from L&L, wonder if it's Pinguin making them.

Not that it matters, they're on their way to you and that's the best part. 👍

I'll make sure to post the details when they arrive, would be nice to be able to find these for sale in the US, the shipping was steep.

My JJH tribute project had stalled because I was looking for the correct scale decals, and I didn't want to cut the angle incorrectly in the vintage rear wing I have for it.

And then AE parts the clouds and drops each individual JJH component - without a mention of it coming - just did it.

AE licensed, and JJH authorized, decal sheet, and wing, on their way here now. Stoked!

Kyosho brushless motors went on sale the other day so I pulled the trigger on 13.5T Gold ($87.xx) , 19.5T Red ($75.xx) and a couple ESC's.

Currently waiting on 87 Ultima Worlds kit, and have collected a few parts for that build.

^^^ I've been having that same issue too!! Just ordered something that was shipping from 1.5hrs away in WI, watched it travel to Florida and back with USPS.
In their defense, this "efficiency route" only took an extra few days. 8)

From my experience when everything goes right with USPS you are good. The minute you see "in transit to next location" your hosed. Once it makes one wrong move, add days or a week to the transit time. It's like that first error basically sends it in circles or the slowest possible route getting to it's destination.

Just got the word from Amain today, the Green Edition shipped. They are in Chico, CA, and I'm in Walnut Creek, CA, less than 3 hours from there. Hoping tomorrow is the delivery day.
