Hello from Burleson, Texas

[vafifty4]

Just ordered a Super Cub LP last night and I'm already impatient for it to show up lol.

What has been your experiences with ship time from Hobby Zone? if it truly does take 1-5 business days to ship, then it should conveniently arrive just in time for my birth day next week (figuring about 5 days to for it to go from MN to here in TX)

We (SC pilots) are an impatient bunch when it comes to the SC, aren't we? Welcome to the club!

Welcome Texas.
I live in NC and it took exactly 5 days before I rec'ed mine. I was tracking that baby (UPS) a couple times a day before it arrived.

[vafifty4]

Thats for the welcomes,

Now that I have my tracking number, I'll probably be checking UPS an uncountable number of times. Especially with me having good Friday off, that's a entire day I can spend checking its status, oh boy!

Welcome to the club vafifty.

It's a nice feeling when that huge box turns up on the doorstep.

Right about that. I was using some choice four letter words that evening of the scheduled delivery when I finally see the "ups" truck rolling into the driveway.

Hey Datsun, I had a '73 240Z back in the late 80's. Loved it almost as much as the "men in blue" did ;D Waaaay too many pick slips with that baby.

--Happy flying--->

Well, brown truck showed up today! ;D
Now I just have to wait for the 25 to 35 mph winds ( )to decide to calm down so I can try flying it .

Parrot,
Sweet, still got it around? I have the pleasure of getting to drive a early 260z with 280 engine and 5 speed manual , currently in the process of acquiring the materials to put together a set of twice pipes.

Fight the urge to fly that bird with the gale you have blowing there!
I assume this is your first rc plane. Ask anyone here what is the the most common reason for a crash and they will tell you the same. Wind.

Tinkered with my Z a bit. Yep, bullet proof OHC inline 6 cylinder. I snatched those crappy side draft SU carbs and dropped in a set of Webers. Procomp ignition. Header (Ansa) exhaust. I could rip through 280s' without a prob. The "new" 300s' at the time without turbos.
240s' were long legged 4 speed manual. Wrapped it around a tree on night goofing off. The repairs were horrid. Sold it during my "driving sabbatical" ;D
Lets' just say that the state DMV did not think it was a very good idea for me to continue to hold a state driver's license for a while. Many moons ago. Married years now with a daughter turning into adult, though I still love to have a 240 or 280 as a garage project.

Enough Z. Again, you will love this plane.
Welcome to your latest addiction!

Hi & Welcome from windy England. I too have been waiting for some low winds as a complete noob.....end of this week lookin good where I am! ;D

[vafifty4]

Parrot
yea, i'll have to try and find a way to fight the urge then.
Ouch, sorry to hear about your z, mine has a 4 barrel conversion on it at the moment, can't say I've tried racing anybody (yet), but there aren't too many out on the road now.

John,
thanks, end of the week is looking promising here too, at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself until it really is calm
