 |  Tony Tan and Pilot RC: Thumbs Up
Just finalized my order with Tony. I ordered the Extra 300 Custom Scheme, CF, and DLE 111. Oh, and also a custom painted pilot. I've been corresponding with Tony for over a month trying to decide what direction I wanted to go in. I don't consider myself a difficult person to do business with, but for this purchase I just couldn't make up my mind. Between the 60+ emails between Tony and I, I finally settled on what I wanted. Let me say that through it all Tony was very patient and very helpful. I looked at many different companies, and spoke with the two LHS in my area, and also asked many questions here. Looking for weights here, colors there. Cost of shipping, flight characteristics, etc. However, I kept going back to Pilot. And finally tonight, I made my purchase. So, Thanks Tony for answering every one of my questions. For accepting all the changes, and for having the patience of a saint. I know I'm going to love this plane. Also, a special thanks to Scott at SS Customs. You may know him here as "Scag". He was very helpful with creating my scheme. Actually, the helmet was completely his design. If you ever need designing help, or some creative advice, hit him up, he's that good. I'll post the final scheme for the plane and helmet later. Will also post pics of the plane as Tony sends them to me. Your Plane, Your Way. What a novel idea! Steve |

Congrats on your purchase  You won't be disappointed, post some pics when you get them. Tony has his stuff together, I've seen many arfs and to me Pilots are at the top of the list for not only quality, but value. There are alot of good airplanes out there, not saying Pilot is the only one to have, but tops in my opinion. Just my 2cents.  Dan |

Mike as soon as the pipes get welded up. Then I can get it all set up and ballanced. Servos ,engine ,canisters are mounted so just a little more to do. I have the Bi-plane event on the 16th I am CD ing so I have other things to do for now.

__________________ Now, this is really quite simple ,ok? Understeer works like this: you drive down the road , turn the wheel, but the car goes straight on, crashes into a tree and you die. OVERsteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel, but the back of the car comes round like this, and you go off the road, crash into a tree and you die. Now, oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you |
