WOW...that list should keep you busy... I loved the Pulse as a sport plane. Easy to fly...Lots of fun.

I would love a Wild Hare Baby Edge with gasser.
Probably get an AW 60-90 Yak and possibly another Pulse.

It's SO hard to prioritize!!

JR X9303 or Airtronics SD-10G
YS 140 Sport
A "new" (could be used) pattern ship, close to full 2 meter
A roof rack to fit my new plane
Maybe a nice new set of ultra-high speed servos and a fast 200oz-in rudder servo

I think it all needs to start with a first place (or two) plaque on my wall

I have been wanting to build a BALSAUSA 1/3 Stearman w/ RCS 215 radial for awhile now. I might break down and start the project this fall.

You guys don't know how to dream big , I have a about $10K that I wish for, I will be happy to get anything that I can I would really like a new radio, probably the JR that was just listed and an 4 stroke engine for my Hog bipe, there are about 30 kits that I would like to buy and several ARF's that I would love. I sell real estate on the side and we have a client that says that he is going to inherit about 7million, so hopefully he will and buy a few houses from us, then I can d a LITTLE bit of shopping.

Well, after I get this Aeroworks Edge 540 flying and sell the Cap232 it replaces ;

A Saito 150 for my Hangar 9 Cessna,


Then a TF P47 ARF.

I rarely add more than one airplane to the fleet per year. So this is only an outline of my plans. Its probably going to take 2010 also.

What he said
A while back someone wrote "The more you have in the hangar, the less likely she is to notice the new one."

My wish list is filling quickly. My wife and kids got me a H9 Spitfire for fathers day. We just finished putting her together. I need to break in the Saito 1.00 and start flying her. Then, last Friday, Craig at the LHS called and broke the news that he had my Sig P-51B in his hands. I ordered it last November. My kids can't wait to get started on her.

That should tie up the rest of 2009.

My wish list is a [link=http://www.hobbyzone.com/rc-planes-hobbyzone-mini-super-cub-rtf.htm]Hobbyzone Mini Super Cub[/link] so that I can finally learn to fly, which looks like I will be teaching myself, which is why I want something as simple as this cub, which I am told anyone can fly.

You really would be better off getting someone to teach you. They are very easy to fly......once you get the hang of it. A neighbor of mine is a Professional pilot and he got one thinking it would be a piece of cake. After 3 crashes in 3 30 second flights he came over and asked for help. If you want to go the self taught route for whatever reason buying a good simulator first will immediately save you the cost of at least one plane.

Anyway, back to topic. The only additions I'd like to make this year is a GP Ultra Sport 60 with a Saito 82. Sometimes ya just wanna go ripping around after pattern and 3D stuff and this one seems to be highly recommended for this purpose.

Thanks! Can't take much credit for it, being an ARF. I put the vinyl on, though! *lol*

Gotta admit...I got that part of my wishlist taken care of 10 yrs ago. I'm blessed to be married to the world's GREATEST "aviation widow". She fully supports all my airplaney pursuits, makes air shows a fun family outing, the works.

My wish list for 2009:

1) Time to fly
2) Weather to fly in

All else will have to wait until 2010 thanks to B. Obama and Gov. Ed Rendell. As of July 1st, I'm
working for free at a maximum security prison. We have to report to work or get fired and we
can't strike or protest or we get fired. And to top it off the welfare bums still get their checks
but those of us that work get zip! Complain all you want about Bush but he gave me $ not
take it away!

Oh well, my list grows

Time and money to convert my main planes to 2.4 this year.

I am mostly a glider guy so:

Love to have a new Supra AVA sailplane to add to my current AVA - probably won't happen but I would love one.

A new Supra to add to my current Supra sailplane so I have two the same for competion sailplane events should I might need a back-up plane.

Finish as top Sportsman in the Eastern Soaring League ( ain't gonna happen!)
