Status: offline 		Well, ya, without bragging you guys, It is nice. I'm trying to retire [at 53 ] in the next few months or so and that's why I've stockpiled-up on stuff. It's not as crowded as the photos make it out to be. The machine shop is in the wash room behind all those planes. No Avitars, that's a Little Toni with the number three on it. They hang from twisted coat hangars and the wings are on shelves. I use two wood doors bolted together for a building table with 55 gallon drums for underneath supports. There are still seven planes in the other rooms you have'nt seen yet. Ill post my back yard flying site photos tonight to show you guys what RC heaven is really like where I live. Nothing like a flat 40 acre field to step out back and fly off of . Seeya tonight, MM

Status: offline 		I was reffering to Daven's models, like the one in his avatar. Sorry for the confusion. Your wire hangars... do the support the fuse from the wing saddle or where?

Status: offline 		TJR,

Those are either Q500's (boxy fuses with V-tails) or Q40's (sleek and sexy) like my avatar.

Several different kinds in the pictures. I'll list the source website after the plane types. Don't be put off by the sticker shock, these planes are completely composite molded and loaded with Carbon to handle speeds approaching 200 mph with the right motor

Loki (Mid wing, gear in wing)
Polecat (Mid wing, gear on fuse)
www.bigbruceracing.com or www.supertrc.com (preferred site for U.S. purchase, planes made in Australia)

Vendetta (Low wing, gear in lear jet style wing) (this is in my avatar also)
Dago (low wing, gear in dago shaped wing)
http://www.calspeedpros.com/

Miss Ashley (low wing, gear in lear jet style wing) (very similar to the Vendetta)
no website, but you can email the designer / builder (Rusty Van Baren) at rvanbare@kings.k12.ca.us

Status: offline 		KcJarman, I know what you mean about running out of room. I use the old yellow house a few post ago and I can see if I keep going I am going to have to get an outside storage building someday and I am useing the whole house as a workshop. I like the cabnets you have at each end of the workbench as this would save some steps. In my shop I have it set up as building room, engine room, storage room, airplane room and kitchen as kitchen with refrigerator. However today I tore a Saito 180 down right on the eating table because it was close to the frige. Oh yea life is good.

Status: online 		I guess I'll show ya the pics of the Dungeon. It is not a lot of room, but it is really enough. I am still organizing and creating it.

The roll away carts are nurses drug carts that I got from a dumpster dive at a local hospital. I put new tops on them. There are drawers on both sides of them and they are FULL of tools and equipment.

The drafting table is mine, and the 2 X 4 foot table is for my 9 year old daughter. She builds too! The frig contains soda and ice cream!

The assembly table is shown. Topped with 16 gauge magnetic stainless. The lights above the tables are getting power tonight. Still working to get the shelving unit behind the scroll saw cleaned out of boxes and get rid of (move) the boxes next to the assembly table for more room.

Status: offline 		Well after seeing all of these shops, i decided to redo my shed in my back yard. I posted a pic here a while back of my attached garage with my little work space. It was just cluttered with my kids toys and everything else that just gets thrown in the garage.

Here are some pics of my redone garage. The first one is my old space. Also notice my guard dog!

Thanks for all the great ideas.
