Default RE: Your plane history, what models have you had?

I started building in '53 control line models and '73 RC. There is no way I can list all of the models I have built. I have averaged 1-2 builds a year over that time. The ones that standout in my mind are the following:

Control line:
1. Sterling Flying Fool - Fox .29
2. Sterling Fokker D VII - Fox .29
3. Sterling Great Lakes T2A - Fox .29 (Still have it in flying shape)
3. Sterling Corsair - McCoy .29
4. Midwest P-39 Profile - Fox .15 (Still have it in flying shape)
5. Sig AcroStar Profile - Fox .15 (Still have it in flying shape)

RC:
1. RCM Trainer 60 - Fox .60 Eagle 1
2. Southern RC Alley Cat - Enya .45
3. Jensen Wayfarer Bip - Enya .45 (Being refurbished after 35 years)
4. Jemco FW 190D - K&B .40 (Still flyable)
5. Jemco Zero - K&B .40 (Still flyable)
6. Bridi Kaos 60 - OS .60 FSR
7. Sig Kommander - Enya .45
8. Sig Kouger (2) - OS .46 SF
9. Sig King Kobra - OS .61 SF
10. Sig Mini BiPlane - OS .46 FSR (Still flyable)
11. From plans Northrop Gamma - OS .61 SF (Still flyable)

15. GP Mustange 40 - OS .46 SF (Still flyable)
16. GP Super Sportster 60 - OS .61 SF (still flying regularly for 20 years)
16. Airtronics New Era 3 - OS Max .25
17. Northeast Aerodynamics BelAir Biplane 40 - OS .40 FSR

Currently building:
1. GP Ultra Sport 60 - Fox .74 Eagle
2. Jemco PT-19 - TT .42 GP

ARFs: (All are flight ready including charged battery on trickle charge)
1. GP Piper Cherokee (2) - OS .46 AX and OS .55 AX
2. H9 Piper Pawnee - OS .46 AX
3. H9 Pulse XT 60 - OS .61 FX
4. BH T28 Trojan - OS .61 SF
5. GP Escapade - Magnum .46 XLS
6. Sig Kadet Senior - OS .61 FSR
7. GP 1.4 scale RV-4 - OS .75 AX
8. GP Super Skybolt - OS .61 SF

Currently Assembling:
1. GP Revolver 70 - Magnum .91 4 stroke

In the last couple of years, a number of ARFs caught my eye and I bought them. I am still building, doing a little every day but the ARFs I find to be of good quality, fun to fly, and cost half of what I would pay if I bought them as kits.
