Thanks Geoff! That bomber is known all over the world. If you want to see some video of it in action go to www.hodgeshobbies.com or just search you tube for "hodges hobbies B-29". It's not that expensive to fly RC if you don't crash a lot! But there is always something new coming out you "just have to have"! LOL

Hey thanks wizz. Let me know about the tumbler! Yeah, I did the car, buggy, truck thing. Was fun as long as you had buddies to run with. By yourself gets boring quick! For some reason RC Aircraft NEVER gets old OR boring! Me and my 6 year boy just got back from a whole day of flying! My home flying field (Hodges Hobbies) is only 8 minutes away. I think thats why I can't shake it. It's just too easy to throw a plane or 5 in the truck and go! Let me know when and how much for the tumbler. If I have not already found one by then, maybe we can work a deal.

Thanks John. Been looking at the Lortone Kit. I think that may be where I start.

Been doing this for over 11 yrs. Great people, great times, great food and great fun! Me flying. The Famous Hodges Hobbies 20' wingspan B-29 Bomber Float flying Pic from above Hodges Hobbies, in the Hodges Piper Cub Me (red shorts) with just a few of my flying buddies watching a demo. Aint that B-29 big!!!! 98 pounds! Like I said this has been my addiction for the past 10 yrs or so. Thrown a lot of $$ away doing it! Maybe it's time for a change.

Just wanted to holler at y'all! I'm new to the hobby, don't have any equipment (yet) and have been on one dig at the Hogg Mine in Lagrange, Ga! I've been a member over on the Dirty Rockhounds forum for a few months now and have really become interested in cutting and polishing! I figure tumbling would be the cheapest wat to start out and be a good way to see if I have a genuine interest in it. ;D So, is there a good inexpensive ($100-$200) tumbler out there that won't break down on me with just a few weeks use?
