I retired from the Navy in 95 and started thinking about getting into CL that I was addicted to since childhood (in the 50's) I found a hobby shop nearby and after walking in and asking a few questions I was quickly converted to RC at the young age of 50. I am now 74 and have a two car garage and trailer full of model planes. I don't even think I can remember all of them, so I will list the more memorable and interesting ones.
Radiocraft 33% Extra 330 with DA 100
Goldberg 30% Ultimate bipe with 3W 75
2 Goldberg Wild Stick 120s 1 with ST 2300 and other with DLE 20.
Goldberg Obsession with XYZ 50
Dynaflite Decathalon Kit with a gas 47cc engine
87" Lanier Yak 54 with Fuji 64
87" Lanier Extra 300 with DLE 55
Lanier Dominator with ST 3250
Ryan STA 52" with OS 46 c
U Can Do 60 with DLE 20
U Can Do 46 with OS hyp 50
World models Sky Raider with Magnum .40
GP 43" electric Extra 300
Tower Uproar V2 electric
Tower mini-Uproar electric
Pheonix Sonic 2 with OS 32

About 12 more needing some repair to be flight ready and 12 more in the box waiting assembly:
Tower .46 Edge 540 destined for a 9cc gas engine
Phoenix models 46 Edge 540 for Electric
Phoenix SBACH 342 for a 21 cc twin gas engine
Phoenix Slick aerobat 120 for a DLE 20
Tower Ultimate Bibe for a 9cc Gas engine
H9 Ultimate Stick 30CC for a 32cc gas engine
GP Escapade Sport 40 electric
GP Escapade Sprort 60 with OS 65 or Magnum 1.20 4S or NGH 17cc gas (depends on balance)
Tower Sport 46 electric
GP PT-19 46 with Saito .82
Tower Uproar 46 V2 with OS 46 or 55 glow.

Every time a new large box is left on the front porch to be lugged upstairs to my "hobby room" (no room in garage anymore) My wife declares, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" To which I reply to my bride of 51 years, "It was on sale!" That was also the same discussion when I arrived home last year with my new motorcycle. She had stronger language to use when I came home three years ago in my Dodge Challenger Hellcat. But she couldn't complain too much since she already had a Challenger six speed Scat Pack. Boys and their toys, EH?
