So, I was made an offer on this, and off it went.  I loved it, but I always wanted something more:

Then, just yesterday, this strange package appeared on my porch:

Opened it up:

OMG ANGEL!!one!!!11!!eleventyone!!!  Opened that one up:

Mmmm, nice.

Kinda chilly out here...

Anyways, I'm yet to shoot it because I need to mod the reg for my HP tank and need a new feedneck because the stock feedneck, although great, isn't getting along with my cut down Halo.  Picked it up for $300, which is a little hefty but this was exactly what I was looking for and had less than 8000 paintballs put through it, also not bad considering they cost $1500 back in '04.  It's in perfect condition; almost looks brand new.  Anyways, I'm happy with it so far; all will be decided on my first day of play.

Interesting "Porch" in pic #2. You in the habit of leaving KC Trouble-Free oil and teflon tape as well as some form of repair kit and C-Clip pliers on the porch there Yomillio?

I'm not a fan of the 90 frame... but thats an 04 right?  And it appears to have been milled for eyes, so it looks like you got the better end of that deal.

Well, you know, you also failed to see that there was missing postage...

I wouldn't have the KC Trouble-Free if it wasn't for your suggestion over a year ago when I picked up that 'Cocker, haha.  And I need new C-Clip pliers badly, those are far to big for the retaining ring in the reg.  'Tis why I haven't removed a shim from it yet so I can use the HP tank. 

I mean, whats a porch without teflon tape and tools?

Yeah, it's a 2004 A4 Fly.  The Fly models came stock with eyes, the first Angel model to ever do so.  After they realized how impractical COPS and SENSI was compared to eyes, they made the switch, and like most everything WDP before the A1, they made it perfect.  Granted, there is no reason why they must use ribbon eyes instead of regular wired, but as long as I'm careful I don't think it'll be a problem.

I love the 90 frame, and I wouldn't have gotten an Angel without one.  It's just not the same, and I really don't understand why WDP doesn't have an option for one with the A1.  It is possible that they come out with one with the release of the A1 Fly and the Magno internals, but no one knows for sure.

I would be more into the A1 if it had a 90* frame. 90* feels so good.

Welcome to the Fly family.
You got a deal on that one. I bought mine for 600$. About 4 years ago though.
You don't have to change the reg on your tank, you can just change the spring stack in the reg on the gun. Done it before, works well.
One more thing, get a tadaeo board.

Heh, was waiting for you to make an appearance.

I figured out the spring stack thing.  I just need the right c-clip pliers to get the retaining ring out of the reg because all the ones i have right now are too bulky.

I love Angels, and that's about my favorite gen, too. But, there's no gun prettier than a G7 Fly...

Angels are one of the better looking guns.  Im sure you'll love it.  Ive always wanted a 90* frame, even an Angel.  Im pretty sure many of my friends would kill me if I got one though.  Some just hate Angels for some actual good reasons(which I dont remember, but they were good), others would be jealous.
