Hey Evan, your first plane looks exactly like my Ferox but with a shorter tail and wooden wings...! Forgot to mention that your plane is a high wing, the Ferox is a midwing The third photo is a Talon? It looks like one except for the strange swept back wings. The last is obviously a Talon. Very nice P38, is is wood. The second photo is a Fling right?

Where did you get the T-Tail hotliner model? It looks beautiful.

Very nice planes looking forward to post my own.

The first is my own design, it breaks down into the box it is sitting on and I take it with me to fly, it has flown a couple dozen sites in the US and Spain, I call it a Traveler. The second is a recovered Fling. The third a modified talon, swept wings + 4" longer wing span, 2" longer fuse, swept tail. The next is a BulleT from Soaring USA, it is the only powered glider here and I sholdn't have included it since I feel a glider with a motor is not a glider. Next is my P-38, my design with foam over a ply crutch in the fuse and booms and built up wings, very light and very acrobatic while being pretty fast. Next is a Douglas Silhoette, highly modified too, they were popular in the '80's. last is a Talon built pretty much to plans. I have others ready to fly but no pictures of them, all of these are on the wall ready to fly and I fly them semi regularly.

You're into everything just like me eh?

I totaled an Adrianna last season and I'm working on a Ventus so I can do some aero towing from the glider spot instead of the tow plane spot for a change.

Not sure, here's a semi list... biggest is a 16' old timer, smallest a 20" Mustang. Fastest... well right this minute a 200+ F5D, but working on a FAI F3D, slowest... hmmm not sure... helo's electric to the .91 Freya right now, have had gassers. No turbines but I have elctric jets. Speed 400, F5D, hotliners, slope, thermal, electric gliders, competition fun flys, regular old sport planes, twins... from 200mph twin Outlaw to twin .75 P-38, float planes... from a 36" old timer to a 105" old timer to fun flys on floats to a highly modified Outlaw on floats and a Northstar... Lots of little electrics too... and a blimp....

My first glider is electric powered Great Planes Spectra that my son bought me.
I am still learning and it is a lot of fun.

No flaps, spoilers, and it's very similar to the original BOT.
