Status: offline 		How many engines do you own? I was surprised to realize that I have 34 engines. 7 are on flying models and the rest are just sitting around waiting on airframes. I guess that either it is an illness or I just can't pass up a good deal

It's definitely an illness. I have the same problem with kits.

Just ask Walt.

Status: offline 		I'm not one to purchase something R/C without it having a specific purpose. I've got three engines, had three airplanes to fly them. One airplane was sold without the engine, but will be replaced by another one shortly. Soon I will again have three airplanes with three engines.

Status: offline 		I read recently a post on another site whereas a gentlemen excused himself as a plane $lut... I laughed for a while, being I could easily relate...

I have upwards of 40 flyable aircraft from little combat planes to 44% Giant Scale Aircraft. Additionally I have many in various stages of completion.

Some where around 90 plus engines.

I own and fly:

1/12 scale combat and pylon racers.
Q500, QM40 and FAI Pylon racers.
Warbird Pylon racers.
Warbirds from .25 size to 100 inchers, including twins.
Fun fly, Sport and 3D Aerobatic models. [.40 - .91 size]
Mid-size Aerobatic models.
Giant Scale Aerobatic models.
Pattern Aircraft.
Jet Aircraft.

I also have:
Helicopters
Cars, Trucks and boats.
G-scale R/C operated trains.

I like em all........ They all fly different... Their also cheaper to maintain than the ex.... And they provide distraction and excitement win I'm ready... Whenever I feel like it... As often as I like...

Status: offline 		Owing to the fact that I have a very difficult time ignoring a good deal wether its off the "Net" or Mailorder or even in a LHS I think I have more NIB engines sitting in my shop than at least of 6 Bay Area LHS's have in individual stock. I have plans for nearly all of them - I think?
