Default RE: How many planes

Im 20, been flyin for 3 years. Between me and my dad we have had about 20 planes (he dont fly much though). Here they are:

1 Great Planes 60 size trainer with os 70 FS (died after a month but I landed it my second day out and soloed my third)
1 Shoestring racer with Saito 100
3 Hangar 9 1/4 scale Caps with Saito 180's(all RIP, I have bad luck with those)
1 Hangar 9 edge same engine as above(2 years and over 200 flights, sold it)
1 Sig Sukhoi with OS 300 twin and a 325 5 cyl for a little while
1 Goldberg cub clipped wing with OS 70 FS (not pretty but it flys good)
1 Goldberg Ultimate ARF with Super Tigre 90 two stroke (lost on maiden in a 50 mph downdraft)
1 Scratch built HOTS with enya 120R (sweet airplane)
1 Zagi (the only electric)
1 Thunder Tiger Lazy Cub with OS Wankle ROTARY engine (first plane to do an inverted touch and go but crashed it to a dead battery
1 BVM Agressor with 90 ducted fan (fastest plane ive seen, even faster than the turbines that i have seen)
1 TR 260 with G-38 (flies like a brick)
1 Hobbico RTF trainer (sold)
1 Sig Kadet SR ARF with OS 70 FS (wing Failure)
1 Thunder Tiger Tiger Stick with os 48 FS (way underpowered but kinda fun)
1 Scorpion combat plane with enya 35 (very fast and agile)
1 Phoenix Models FUNSTAR 40 with os 52 FS (first funfly, suprising power from the 52, lost in a midair while i was torque rolling)
1 Hangar 9 Funtana with SAITO 100 (best waterfalls ive seen anywhere, can do 5 in about 5' drop, amazing)
1 Hangar 9 Sukhoi with a Saito 425 radial at first but now with a GT-80 (my current favorite, although i would like a BME 110 Xtreme)
Building Morris Hobbies Sledge 540 with OS 70 FS (all i lack is covering)
In the box: Great Planes Spacewalker 1/4, Futaba Aerobat 1.20 size, GWS A-10 electric.

I think that is all but if i think of some more ill post them.

Oh whoops i forgot to include some of my planes that have "Gone to a better place"
Weston Tigershark- radio went dead went in at full throttle from about 400 feet, couldn't pull the engine out of the ground made hole about 1 1/2 foot deep!
Innovation Pro that got smashed to bits mid prop hang by another plane at sandown 3 years ago.....Now totally rebuilt apart from the left aileron which is the only surviving bit.
But that doesn't include the beginners who hand you the tx when their plane is just about to hit the ground or some other obstacle.....
