Default Toledo Aftermath!!!!!!!!

Ok guys, now that the dust has settled, our wallets have cooled down, our vocal chords have begun working again, and most of us have returned home from our Toledo trip... hows the aftermath looking?!?!? AKA, what did you end up leaving the show with?!??!?! I know I told myself before going to Toledo that I wasn't going to buy anything but necessaties... of course that didnt happen. How about you? What did you guys walk away with?!?!?!

I ended up with:
Sebart Sukhoi 30-E From Fedon Aircraft
Emcotec Mini from Desert Aircraft
Vrolet Foamy from Fancy Foam
Various Lipos, servos, props, and other electric goodies
FlyingGiants Foamy from Insane Foamies

Go to the EF website or my site: http://higherplaneproductions.com and watch the video of the Edge 540T. Then call or email Chris at EF and tell him you bought an Edge but forgot to mention the freebie from the video. He'll send you a coupon. If you hit any glitches at all just send me an email at fmidgett@higherplaneproductions.com and I'll help you get your HPP freebie even if you don't have a coupon code from Chris. ;-) -Fred
