Default Starting Monday FG Will Become FlyinggiantsTwins.com

Hey guys it's been a good run, but the time has come to move forward. The days of glory for your common 40% airplane are over and FG must recognize this and move on. Tomorrow morning we will debut FlyingGiants Twins. Your one and only source for everything Giant Scale and Twin engined!

We were going to hold off and present this in a better manner but the leading force behind this movement HitecHank from Canada went ahead and let the cat out of the bag a it early.

So tomorrow when you log into your FG account you will see that some of the graphics have changed, the main URL will read www.flyinggiantstwins.com (don't worry, the old FG URL will re-direct you) and all information on single engine planes will have been completely removed. It's going to take a little time to build up the amazing log of information we had on those boring old singles, but man we are firm believers in the twin revolution!

Just check out this bad boy, HitecHank says it has so much power he can hover sideways!

Our hats are off Hank, you did a great job on this plane, and inspired us to move the twin direction 100%!!

Hey, use the empty spinner with an electric motor so you can have an emergency
device in case of a twin dead stick!

It would have been a more believable April fools gag to say you're leaving FG to run a site for vegan cyclists wearing nut hugger spandex made from natural materials.

LOL. That was one of the most transparent April Fool's jokes I've witnessed in a while.
But that twin is rad. I wanna see it fly. I've been dreaming of them with Zandor for a long time.... no problem with prop wash!

I wanna see that plane get thrown down! I would imagine it would be hard to hover given that there would be less airflow directly over the tail. Never-the-less, that is awesome. Amazing how you put the motorboxes into the wing like that!
