King,at one time i was working toward a PHD in psychology.No,you are not suffering from OCD.You like many out there really enjoy this hobby.This is a very healthy interest,don't worry to much about it,if you think you have it bad for planes,heck,i have been at this for over 30 years.It is a sport of sort,consider the people that thrive on other activities such as auto racing,football,etc.,they spend thousands of dollars attending and participating in these events if they can.Do those people have OCD?I don't beleive so.

On the question that every plane you build must be better than the last is only normal.You like many others are very proud of the planes that you build,and it shows in the work you do.Heck,post some pictures here and show us some of your planes,I would love to see them!
