2)Funtana with YS63FZ still in box, Got it today
3)Great Planes Corsair OS46FX Crashed plane given to me (Mostly repaired but need to finish)
4)Dazzler OS 46SF another crashed plane on the way to the can so I took it and rebuilt it, Flies great
5)Model Tech extra with OS40FS, Needs minor repairs (My dumb thumbs)
6)Midwest ME109 with a OS 46FX My oldest bird still flying (My first build too)
7)Lanier Mariner with OS 46SF not flown yet

Well this is my fleet for this year, What do you have that will be ready for this year.

Sig 4Star 40 - with clipped wings - TT Pro.46
Sig Something Extra - TT Pro .46
Sig Rascal 40 - TT Pro .46
Sig Hog Bipe - Still in the box O.S. 61FX
World Models Super Stunts 40 Stick - TT Pro .46
Bridi Kaos 60 - Fox .74
Lanier ST40 - Built straight wing - MDS .48
70" Big Stick - Enya 1.20 4Stroke

Looking the list over I seem to be partial to Sig and Thunder Tiger Pro .46's.

Got to fly yesterday with 59* and 5 mph winds. It was a great day....on to the question:

1. 4*60 - OS91 Surpass
2. Magic Extra - OS46FX
3. Ultra Stick 60 - OS61 FX
4. U-Can-Do 46 - Saito 72 (Just bought it over a week ago. The Saito is awaiting repair parts. It was in a pretty bad crash last
Fall, and will be reused.)
5. SIG Something Extra - OS46FX (I am just finishing it and should be done in a week or two. Then on to the U-Can-Do.)
6. Finally, I hope to get enough money together to get and Ultra Stick Lite with a G-26 on it. If my plans go right, I should have it in
in the air by late June.

That's it for me.
