We get a lot of people asking for the various Center of Gravities of our Quick Builds. So we are listing them here as well as in our FAQ section. 

When you buy the kit, you get a CD that contains text files with this information in them, and sometimes its easy to overlook a text file as something you don't need to read.  Frankly, we do it all the time.  So here they are, in all their glory.

• The Center of Gravity for the Quick Build Eurofighter is 4 3/4" or 12 cm rear of the wing break.
• The Center of Gravity for the Quick Build F-16 is 3" (7-8cm) rear of the wing break.

We neglected the blog once again.  Sigh.  But you know, with Twitter and Facebook out there, it just gets hard to keep up (if we are posting to those services as well).  Anyway, we sent out our April/May newsletter a few weeks ago and so you can check it out.  RIGHT HERE.

And if you want this newsletter directly deposited into your inbox, just sign up on the right.  No spam, just a newsletter once a month.  

If you follow us on twitter or on Facebook (fan) then you already know or actually subscribe like nearly 2,000 other RC folks.  But we posted our newsletter a few days ago.  Normally we like to post it here on everywhere right after we send it, but this time, we wanted to let our subscribers have a chance to get our remaining Micro Jet Combo motors on sale before we ran out. So we waited.  Now, we still have a few, so get them while you can. 

We also gathered up some great articles for the right side of our news.  They are pretty awesome.  Check it out.

The designer of the Saab Draken kit, Marcel du Plessis, in our Quick Build Catalog, posted some great video of the Draken doing just about everything.  Slow passes, high alpha, straight up like a rocket, and avoiding some big poles the whole time.  So check it out.

Often times, we get asked, "What is your best seller?"  We are not sure why people ask, because we are of the mindset of having something different out at the flying field, but hey, customers ask and we answer.  

Without a doubt, it's the Original Series F-14 Tomcat.  We know we know, it's an old airplane.  We know video's have been done to death with the Top Gun theme blazing away. The skull and cross bones, yea, seen a few of those too. But just like that T-shirt you have from high school, you never get tired of slipping it on and indulging in some F-14 goodness.

The F-14 has the most unique feature out there, swing wings.  Cool factor unmatched.  And we should mention that we have a bunch of great decals for download for the F-14.  It makes it possible for the builder out there to pull that sucker out of the car and get a bunch of guys gathered around quick.  So check out the video, pictures, and decals and pick up a kit.  After all, it's our best seller.

Here at 6mmFlyRC, we like to try to stay ahead of the orders. Part of that means we have to anticipate our inventory, track sales, blah, blah, blah.  This year, like years past, we have managed to stay one up on the holiday rush and have been getting out orders pretty quickly.  Which is no small feat for a small operation.

What we are saying is that we can only do so much.  

So consider yourself warned.  If you want to get your kit before December 25th, we highly recommend ordering before December 16th.  

That gives us an extra day or two in case we are back ordered and the post office a few extra days to get the kit you ordered for your wife (with your name on it) to your front door. 

So have you been keeping track of how many kits we have out there might be a bit surprised to hear we are up to 20 kits total.  Holy cow!  And this is all considering we have in the past dropped a few models like the Super Bandit, X-31, and BD-5. 

We stand by our claim that you won't find a bigger selection of military park jets anywhere.  Period.  

Original Series

F-22, F-14, F-18E, F-15, T-38, F-5, SU-37, F4D and F-4 Phantom.  

Quick Build

F-22, F-18, F-15, F-35, F4D, MIG-29, SU-37, F-4 Phantom, Draken, F-16, and Eurofighter.

You just can't beat that lineup.  

Black Friday is rapidly approaching and what can be better than shopping in your underwear?  When you have supermodel physiques, a high speed internet connection and a love for RC, it just makes sense!  

If you haven't figured it out by now, we are shamelessly plugging our own catalog for the holiday season.  Drop a subtle hint and bring over your significant other and point to the glowing computer screen.  You can say "Look honey, how easy is this?  You order online and they ship it to our house?"  And she'll say back "I love you so much for thinking of me and my struggles every year to figure out what to get you, bookmark the page and pick out what you might like.  I can't believe how much I love you."  

Trust us, that's how it works.  No long lines, no stampedes and crazy elbows getting thrown around to pick up that nearly free crappy electronic gadget.
