My wife has always told me I had a 10 plane limit, and if I went over she would sell any plane she wanted for her own hobbies, While this is really a joke, it has helped me stay more focused. I have at many times sold 3 so so planes to buy one great sweet plane or jet. Over the years this has me now in an odd place where I would say almost every one of my 10 planes and 2 in the works are all what I would consider amazing or over the top to most people. But as today is a odd day in Ohio where we are going to hit 50 deg with odd winds in the middle of winter, I find my self in a situation where I don't have anything Im willing to risk flying on a not so ready field with somewhat high winds as my cheapest plane is (prop Ziorli P40 with DLE 85, Or jet ME163 Komit with K180)

The wife at one time bought me a dry eraser board, so I could put any issues I had with each plane, as one of the issues of having so many planes and jets, is you may fly it 3 times that day and on the last flight got an air leak, put it away then forgot about the issue, pull it out 3 months later ready to fly and refind your issue. This is when you have to many, when you cant keep up with potential failures and yearly maintenance issues.
