How many engines do you own? I was surprised to realize that I have 34 engines. 7 are on flying models and the rest are just sitting around waiting on airframes. I guess that either it is an illness or I just can't pass up a good deal

It's definitely an illness. I have the same problem with kits.

Just ask Walt.

I'm not one to purchase something R/C without it having a specific purpose. I've got three engines, had three airplanes to fly them. One airplane was sold without the engine, but will be replaced by another one shortly. Soon I will again have three airplanes with three engines.

I read recently a post on another site whereas a gentlemen excused himself as a plane $lut... I laughed for a while, being I could easily relate...

I have upwards of 40 flyable aircraft from little combat planes to 44% Giant Scale Aircraft. Additionally I have many in various stages of completion.

Some where around 90 plus engines.

I own and fly:

1/12 scale combat and pylon racers.
Q500, QM40 and FAI Pylon racers.
Warbird Pylon racers.
Warbirds from .25 size to 100 inchers, including twins.
Fun fly, Sport and 3D Aerobatic models. [.40 - .91 size]
Mid-size Aerobatic models.
Giant Scale Aerobatic models.
Pattern Aircraft.
Jet Aircraft.

I also have:
Helicopters
Cars, Trucks and boats.
G-scale R/C operated trains.

I like em all........ They all fly different... Their also cheaper to maintain than the ex.... And they provide distraction and excitement win I'm ready... Whenever I feel like it... As often as I like...

Owing to the fact that I have a very difficult time ignoring a good deal wether its off the "Net" or Mailorder or even in a LHS I think I have more NIB engines sitting in my shop than at least of 6 Bay Area LHS's have in individual stock. I have plans for nearly all of them - I think?

Hey Shemp,

You wanna get rid of a NIB Saito 1.50 for cheap?

I seem to have collected enough planes to mount all engines.

The last time I counted, several years ago, I had over 100 and I ain't counting again. I currently have 23 power planes any one of which could be flown by tomorrow with engine and radio installation tonight. I didn't count the gliders.

Am I sick or what?

rmh

You guys can actually count how many you have had?
Hmm.
Presently I have four that I use.
I once tried to remember how many I have owned -got lost-
I do remember most of the brands tho-
-I counted over forty cars I had owned.
You have to be a little nuts to do this.
Of single brands I have had - Start with an Atom-.09 my first engine!Then Arden-
what is weird is that now I am up to Z ! ZDZ.
In the middle are odd ones such as a Marvin (still have it in the box) A Gold Star (Chinese twin -awful)a Bluestreak-a Redshift-and lots of OS-YS-a few Foxes-McCoy-Tee Dees- Wasp-Super Tigers by the hogsheads-Saitos-etc..
But I sell em and replace with stuff -I find more interesting and applicable to interests.
I also have some one off bar stock engines .quite old -
These are in the looky see only file.
Why so many? Who knows-I like to experiment in getting max performance from them. The same as I did with cars. This is less time and money intensive tho---

I have only five, but four of them are flying. Well not flying right this minute. But they are flyable. That is if I can fly them. And oh the four flyable ones are in airplanes.

I have five PAW diesels, one davis conversion of a os fp .10 and one enya .46 4c (glow). I had a hpvt .21 4 stroke that my wife gave me as a wedding gift and like a bonehead I sold it. A foolish move that I do not recomend to others.

It is my plan to have only diesels of all sizes and electric park flyers.

KingAirJockey,

How do you like that Enya 40? My Enya 46 4C is a quality piece. What kind of rpms will it turn?

Hobbsy

My Feedback: (102)

Francis, I know this is off the track a little, but which PAW's do you have? I have the .60, .40 and the .19. Thanks, Dave

FrancisPerson

A PAW .15 r/c on a Clancy Lazy Bee, a PAW .03 r/c on a Clancy Yard Bee, a PAW .09 r/c NIB, a PAW .09 c/L (used), a PAW .06 c/L (old), a Davis conversion of a OS FP .10 r/c on a Clancy Stagger Bee and a brand new MP Jet .061 r/c diesel that will go on a Designs that fly Biplane. I have yet to run the MP Jet, but if it runs like it looks then ALL small diesels will be an MP Jet ( how about my SR Batteries X-250???). All larger diesels will be Davis conversions.
