You didn't specify the entire sum total of everything I've flown. Helicopters is my passion lately, for reasons articulated elsewhere. In prior years, I flew 20cc sized FW, .75 sized glow FW, a turbine powered FW, .40 sized CL, and even sailplanes. I also flew 0.049 scratch built pattern style plane for quite a while - had a buddy that got me interested in those for a bit. Even flown Rogallo wing (old Kyosho AutoKite). Haven't flown models off water, haven't flown turbine powered helos. Have also flown a couple developmental UAVs. Both between 150 and 200 lbs, one turbine / one prop, not FPV (qual eval of landing characteristics).
