Been holding out to buy a controller for a long time. Hope it is worth the hype. Looks like it is gonna be awesome.

Hey Phong thats what I was going to say

 

[sfsuphysics]

Ahh they finally went preorder

Was quite funny reading D.A. RC forum and listening to all the people bitching and moaning about why isn't it out yet... blah blah I'm going to get a ProFilux controller... quite funny actually.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering one too, however I'm not quite sure that the moonlights dohicky (A $69.95 value!) is really worth that much.

Bryan, thanks for convincing me to order one. haha

 

[TimTen]

those looks so sweet, wish I held out on the AC.

 

[seminolecpa]

Hmm. Didn't take much convincing.

...sitting on a new acjr w/dc8 at the moment.

Ok moral question here.

Just the other day as the g/f and I were shopping for camping related gear (basically a mat to sleep on, lantern mantles since I"m one of the last people who has a gas fired lantern and not some CF bulbs in a lantern shaped case)... she after other vacationish talk "I miss Hawaii..." "We won't be able to take any big vacations this year..." "You're not making as much money due to budget cuts..." etc.

Now should I feel bad about forking over money if I "Can't afford a big vacation" (not true, but she ain't my wife yet, she doesn't get to know the dirty details of my bank accounts/finances)?? I mean obviously she doesn't get to know the truth about the cost But still.

 

[Gomer]

Feel bad? Nope. Infact, feel good! A vacation is a big expense that brings a fleeting moment of joy. A piece of hardware like this is way cheaper then the big expense of a hawaii vacation, is more then a fleeting moment of joy, and is an investment. :-D

I make these purchases from time to time and justify it in not wasting money on constantly going out for empty entertainment/fastfood which is common with most everyone else.

And for my wife and me, give us a week in Yosemite over a week in Hawaii any day.

 

[Ibn]

Hope this sucker lives up to the hype.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Shh it will damnit! I just pre-ordered mine, hence it will be cooler than a block of ice sitting on an iceberg in Antartica in the middle of July!

 

[Ibn]

LOL. At least I'll have a acjr to fall back into if anything.

 

[GreshamH]

They play MP3's as well

 

[Raddogz]

I guess no big vacation trips. I will even say (assuming they don't propose any more park closures) that even camping can get expensive.

 

[iani]

Wait so Eileen you ordered one as well?

 

[Raddogz]

Nope still poor and with all the new cool stuff coming out I need to stay poor

 

[iani]

hahaha, lol

 

[Gomer]

I spent too much and now I want to get a vortech...just because.

 

[seminolecpa]

Wahoo. My RKE shipped with the first batch. Looks like I will be getting a nice present when I get home!
