RE: Your plane history, what models have you had?
[&:]
Out of almost 8 years of flying:
Art-tech Wing Dragon (rtr)
Alfa Focke Wulf 190 (arf) caught fire from no fault of my own.
Goldberg Eagle (kit) retired due to rotted balsa, plane was over 15 years old.
Hanger 9 PTS Mustang (arf and pnp versions) sold both
Hanger 9 .40 J-3 cub (arf and pnp versions) crashed both on crosswind take offs.
Goldberg 62 Skylane (arf) lost 2 years ago, servo failure at high speed.
Seagull .90 Extra 260 (arf)- Lost in a serious crash this year. RIP I screwed up a "knife edge" at low altitude, and I couldn't recover as a result, a pile of toothpicks in a corn field.
This list includes about 4 planes that were so bad in the quality department- I smashed out of anger, lack of patience and didn't complete. ( I'm honest, however not proud.):
CMP/ Giant Scale Models Focke Wulf 190 (arf)
Seagull Dual Ace 9 (arf)
Kyosho .52 Focke Wulf 190
VQ Me-108 (arf)
Aircraft I have now flying:
Hanger 9 .60 Fokker DVII ( a highly modified arf) Will be 3 years old by December.
E-flight mcx blade indoor helicopter (rtr) 3 years old by March.
What I have on the bench now:
A Discontinued Great Planes .60 Fokker DR1 (arf) I'm rebuilding the plane from the bones up- modifying and customizing the bird to be more scale like. This plane was reported to be over 10 years old.
