Look what I did to our guest room!!

The Giant Stik has a BME twin made out of two Echo 23.6cc engines and runs on Gas/Glow
The big Tiger Moth has a Ryobi 31cc and runs on gasoline.
The Giles 202 runs a Homelite 30cc on gasoline.
The big Katana uses a stroked/hopped up Echo 23.6cc on Gas/Glow.
The Twist 60 3d flies on a BME Super Tiger .90 running Gas/Glow.
The Twist 40 on the table has a Fox .78 on Glow.
The two electrics on the wall don't count....

Not shown is my Fokker DR1 Triplane with it's Echo 23.6cc on Gas/Glow. It is out in my 8' x 24' office trailer that I have set up as an engine shop.

Now, how many of you have such understanding wives as this??? (My wife's pic is in my avatar.)

Why are you playing with airplanes?

Gotta have something to do when she gets tired.....

Ah.... I forgot the Mach 1 Sky Raider hiding in the corner. I use it for training and it has a Fox .45 on glow.

I wish my flight caller looked that good. I could have her distract the other pilots causeing them to mess up there manuvers when there minds are on something else other them there planes. Then when I fly hopefully the judges will score me higher. Were not all dirty old men here,some of use are just old men.

Hee hee.... I'm too old to deserve her myself, but I got lucky!

AV8TOR

I notice you have everything neat and orderly. That helps tremendously when trying to gain support of the other half.

Av8tor, you sure are lucky...I cannot even leave a Model Airplane magizine out...or I get nagged at. Count your blessings!!! Capt,n[X(]

Thanks guys. Yeah, my wife is a "keeper", that's for sure! It sure is nice having my airplanes and airplane workshop here in the house! The engines are messy and smell worse, so I'll keep my engine shop; lathe, drill press, grinders, etc. out in the office trailer. Works for me!

Take care,
AV8TOR

My wife is pretty cool about airplanes too. She suggested I convert our attic in our condo to an airplane room since we moved from a house with a 1300 sq ft basement. When I told her that I found some guys on this forum that would help me convert wacker engines she encouraged me to drive the 47 mi to meet with them weekly. I think though, it has something to do with me not denying my wife her simple pleasures as well.

Yep, it goes both ways....
