Someone should start up a service where you can test fly these planes to see which one you really like!

That is a great idea! They let you test drive cars and stuff so why not airplanes!

Bruce,

You keep teasing me with your WH Extra. Now be nice to me, I am in a very fragile state and could go "postal" if this is not a real offer. You already know I want to get into the gas planes. If you ARE serious about the Extra then I will probably get the Tunnel Vision for the OS 160.

Karl,

The Showtime with this kind of power isn't for everybody. Some live by the " the lighter the better" rule. I bought my Showtime with the Saito 150 in it already. I might be doing a build thread on a new Showtime and I probably will try the new Saito 125, since a ton of people want to know more about the motor.

I almost bought a WH Extra Special, but they were waiting for them at the time, so I put my money in a Showtime. I happen to like the WH planes, a very nice plane for the money. Then there's the fact of the Tunnel Vision flies so sweet, in the video's, I want one of them too.

Bottom line is, I haven't helped you a bit, have I?

Well, you guys, I know this sounds bad but the field has been decreased due to the color purple. Got to keep the wife happy. It now looks like the Tunnel Vision will get the nod. This can be such an unscientific hobby at times.

Maybe unscientific, but I'll bet you have a ball with your decision
