My Tower Hobbies Uproar 60, with ASP .61 two stroke, will start its third year. I've banged it up a bit but it's a pretty tough bird. The purple looks good up close. At any distance at all, especially if there are some clouds, it looks black.
I have a SIG Four Star 60 ARF, with Magnum .91 four stroke, ready to go so it should get some flying time this year. No pictures. It's the yellow version so it looks identical to every other yellow 4*60 ARF.
The red and white Corsair has flown a few times. It's the Great Planes 40 size kit, with OS .70 four stroke. The paint job is a tribute to one raced by Cook Cleland in the late 1940s. The landing gear is pretty soft so it needs to be replaced before it can go regularly. The picture of the Corsair flying with the Gee Bee is the full scale plane that has been restored.

Ready to fly right now I have:
-GP 27% Sukhoi SU-31 with a 43cc gasser
-Cermark 70" Yak-54 with a 28cc gasser
-GP Extra-300sp witha YS-63
-Parkzone T-28
-Parkzone Corsair
On the bench right now being cleaned up and modified I have a GP Super Skybolt. It should be ready by next week.
Hanging up waiting to be gone over is a 60 size Top-Flite P-47. I may get it going this summer, we'll see.
There's a GP 27% Christen Eagle that I need to finish covering and put together. It could be flying this summer if time permits.
Finally there is an Ultrasport 60 kit in the box that I wanted to have ready this spring. I got the tail pieces built and the wings framed but construction is at a stand still right now. I doubt it will be in the air any time soon.
That's just the stuff that if flyable or might be flyable soon, my garage rafters and spare room closet are full too.
Then of course I have a spare 50cc gas engine with no home so I may have another new plane before long.
