january i'll be hitting my mountain models cub kit build, and i think santa is bringing me an e-flite p-40 300. i really like being able to hit the sky at a park or any available open spot.

LOL...I was just looking at the E-Flite P-40 on Horizon's site. Not bad for $99.99! Something that doesn't cost much at all to get into the air, and extra batteries would cost next to nothing! I think I might pick one up, lol. Can definitely fly her almost anywhere.

There's several of us who fly down here in Palacios. There's clubs 30 miles or so either side of us but from what I've heard they're mostly Glow & Gas powered believing that electrics are only for flying indoors 
One of these days...
Our main flying field is a tree free 100 acre site that only has a couple of light poles around the smallish parking lot that we use to take-off from.
BTW, if'n ya gots a floatplane, a boat or two...or both,
Come on down,
Tres Palacios Bay/Matagorda Bay is only a 1/4 mile away

the p-40 300 from e-flight has been flying great. it will fit in any car. 8 minutes is about the longest i've gotten out of her per charge...using stock equipment. this is running hard 3/4 - full throttle stuff. launching/landing is easy too.

luckely, it comes with a prop/nose-cone spare for those idots that don't check aileron servo direction prior to maiden
that results in a nose dive back to earth 
...if that happened to me 
i'd be pleased to find the foam fuselage can take a licken and keep on ticken
