Status: offline 		I like that idea! Based on the survey so sar I see that about 1/2 the poeple have at least 6 or more airplanes. So I think I am good for at least 6 to be average. Time to start building a couple more!

Status: offline 		I now have 34 planes . I met 2 boys that wanted to get into rc planes , so I gave them a plane each to learn with. one was a cesnia 182 with a h/b 61 and the other one was a piper cub with a enia 61. I am just passing on our hobbie to the next generation. I haven't flown eather of the planes in over a year and now I have some new students and friends to fly with. If you don't fly them thay are just furniture.

Status: offline 		Hello, we are computer engineering students and wanted to construct a 4 rotor vehicle as our senior graduation project. We would be very grateful if you could answer some of our questions. What kind of motors and blades did you use on your tablet 4 rotor UAV? Did you use any gyro's also? Could you also recommend any brushed motor combinations(motor, batteries)? Thank you very much for your cooperation in advance. :-)

Status: online 		well i had one wife that i had to wait till she was asleep to bring in a new kit, when i started work on it i had to hide the box, "its a scratch build hun" that worked for quite awhile. i finally got tired of the "another airplane!" and got rid of her... i now have as many planes as i want and i girlfriend enjoys the hobby as well!
hmmm my hanger is a 3 car garage its very full, always at least 3 planes on the building tables at a time, so many hanging from the rafters i have a hard time finding a place for the next one
