I may give it to somebody at the club that promises to finish it.
Not sure why I don't want to finish it, I just don't.

Ok lets see, a Rapier sport plane from plans that my son picked out. Half built on the wings, the body is completed and covered. I have a Modeltech P47 that needs to have the mounting on the engine cowl beefed up. Then there is the trainer that my cousin gave me after he smashed it into a curb while trying to taxi the day before I was supposed to test fly it for him. I also want to recover the wing on a World Models Super Sports 40. The plane is not that big and with the white covering its hard to keep track of in the sky. I think thats it.....[8D]

What kind of power are you looking at for the Phoenix Decathlon? I have a ASP Super Series 52 on mine and its obvious that it doesn't need this much power. I think an OS 46FX would be a better choice, not that I am going to make any changes on mine (at least not yet).

Yes being retired at 45 myself I can tell you first hand that those naps sure cut into your building time.

Tower Hobbies Uproar 60---------all it needs is setting control throws and it's done. It has been at this stage for about a year.

SIG 4*60 ARF-----took it out of the box but no real progress

GP Corsair 40 (kit)-----opened the box once----this one will take a year to build

P-47 Razorback-----this is a 2548 scale combat plane. Fuselage and wings are made of blue foam insulation board. The guy who cut the cores promised me there is a P-47 in there; I just have to sand foam away until I find it.

I have an old HB .61 in it now. Probably puts out less power than the .46FX. It's going to get a Magnum .91 fourstroke. - That ought to do...
