Hobbico Avistar
H9 Ultra Stick 40

Building:
Global Ultimate Bipe (almost ready to go)

    This is the plane I **finally** soloed on. Its a hand-me-hand-me-hand-me-down - it was given to me by the bloke that taught me to fly. He learned to fly with it; it was given to him by the bloke that taught him to fly. He learned to fly with it; it was given to him by the bloke that taught him who built and learned to fly with it!! whew! Its pretty ratty but I just can't throw away something with that much history.

    GreatPlanes Extra300
    WM Zen50
    Midwest SuperHots
    PacificAeromodels Sukhoi
    GreatPlanes Decathlon

    On the table:

    Midwest Extra300
    WM Mustang (restoration)

    In the rafters:

    GreatPlanes Dazzler
    Hanger9 Edge540

    I know I've forgotten a few though...oh well. It's a start.

    Status: offline     		Hey, here's a tip for you guys that have those wives that say "why do you need so many planes??" (they think they all fly the same, don't they?) Just tell her that the more planes you have, the less often each one gets flown in the "rotation", therefore, the planes will last longer! It usually buys you enough time to buy a couple more.....he he
