Default Not enough time

I just got my UltraSport 40 kit today, which makes my build/to do list as follows

Shrike 10 1/2 finished on the board.
2 SSC combat planes to build (Club combat)
1/2a Das Wunder to build from plans
UltraSport 40

In addition:
Finish off the basement
Engineer the multi-million dollar project at work (55 - 60 hour work week required)
The rest of the "Honey-Do" list

Looks like a very busy winter for me.

(If I could just win the lottery....)

Glad to see that you have your priorities correct, models first, honey do list last. Wonder how long that will stay in that order??? Good Luck and get building, it is a great kit, Dave

Yes, rookie and amateur both could apply. This will be my third season flying (technically my fourth, but last year was a bad year. Only went through 1-1/2 gallons of fuel ) Should have more time to fly this year.

I did not include my repairs/upgrades in this listing.

Fix landing gear in Dago Red
New covering scheme on Slow Poke
Refurbish Spad3D

Might be getting a Kadet Senior with a .52 4 stroke that will need some TLC before it flys as well

And finally - Enlarge/modify workshop to hold more planes.

I told my wife this is how you ease into the hobby. She just rolled her eyes and walked away without saying anything.
