You know them, those scale models that rarely see action. I admit I have a couple...and probably so do many of you. So here's your chance to post a photo (or two) of those Hanger Queens that you really really really want to get back in the air...but for whatever reasons...haven't gotten around to.

My SE5a hasn't been in the air since last fall...and it's been three years since the Snipe flew. I've been telling myself, I needed to improve my WWI flying skills before trying again. At the time I finished the Snipe, I had never flown a WWI model. I built my Puppeteer to learn how to fly a biplane. Then I decided to build the SE5a as a "quick build" and use it as an "everyday" flier...and as practice for the Snipe. That ended up taking a year. But the SE5a's maiden flight was such a hair-raiser (seriously tail heavy) and the second flight was also a knee-knocker, so I sort of lost my nerve.

No respectable RC scale model should be doomed to a life in the hanger...or hanging on the ceiling. They are meant to be flown...and if such be their destiny...crashed. Hanger rash is no respectable way to go.

So here are my Hanger Queens. Let's see yours. May they all find blue skies again soon.
