My Christmas present was ordered this weekend and should arrive sometime this coming week. :)  Love the WWI planes.  :)  It has a 60" wing span with a G46 motor / 65 amp ESC for power.

Hey Dave..if you go out and purchase a #4 lead pencil ( very soft) and rub that lead
all over the metallic parts of that gun, it will make it look more realistic..

I use this technique and it looks very real
