70cc twin V2
So I picked one of these things up when they were on sale at Thunder Power. I always wanted one when they came out, but I just couldn't bring myself to blow 600 bucks on a foam EDF with 9 gram servos. They went on sale for 40% off and I had to get one. Build is easy, then there is a lot of radio programming to make it work. I wound up needing all 8 channels of my receiver. I got the version with the gyro on the yaw axis.
Chris J owned one for a while as well and enjoyed it as a fun distraction plane:

I have to say it's a blast to fly. With good batteries it's pretty fast, and hovers and harriers are about as easy as any airplane out there. If you get it dead vertical it does some really weird snap-torque rolls but it's a very different kind of flying. Very cool airplane.
Unfortunately it's pretty delicate. It's very easy to get little digs and dents in the foam. The whole thing is hollow and light to keep the weight down so it will fly well.
