What Do You Fly OTHER than your jet?
Just Curious what the jet community flies besides jets. I personally stick to an electric Zagi. It is super simple and just rides around in my car. I have total versatilty its great. I have become allergic to the two stroke sound!

Just selling off the last of my small stuff...most has not been flown in years.
Currently active and ready to go with a battery charge:
H9 Ultra Stick Lite, YS140FZ. Fun sport flyer with flaps. For my non-turbine club field.
Aeroworks 35% Edge 540, BME100 Comp. My "Energizer bunny" model - Seven years old, more than 900 flights, still going strong through five seasons of IMAC/SCAT contests.
World Models P-51 w/ YS 53Z. For sale!
Sig Lil' Rascal (Xmas gift). Park flyer.
Four "Peregrine" own design 3M competition sailplanes - all composite F3E, slope race, and TD versions (I used to make these kits years ago).
4M L-33 (scale) sailplane. For slope and aerotow.
2M composite Fox scale sailplane. For slope.
3M composite "Sting" F3F and slope racing sailplane. Sloper.
60" composite wingeron semi-scale Salto sailplane. Slope racing and fun slope flying.
A bunch of Boomerang combat slope gliders.

RE: What Do You Fly OTHER than your jet?
Hmm lets see I sold most of my prop planes in the last year or so-I have had approx. 25-30 different planes in the last 2 years.What I still have are that arent jets :
WM Midgett Mustang-overpowered just the way I like them (with a OS108 stroke )
WM T34 with a OS65-again overpowered LOL
WM GS P51"miss america " with a Moki210
GSP 1/3 scale Giles202 with a ZDZ80 gasser with smoke-not done yet
Pica T28 with a Saito100-not done yet
I am one of the few on here in the jets forum that still loves flying prop jobs,in fact I enjoy them just as much as jets

RE: What Do You Fly OTHER than your jet?
I just got an rather large GEEBEE at a swap meet this weekend. I really like the ucando 3d 60 size. Other than that, it's jets! Although I did build a flying wing on brushless motor that does over 100 mph. Many people have commented when I pull it out that they thought they were about to see a zagi type performance. When this thing goes whizzing by, it commands attention!

40 size DAZZLER [8D] I love it, I got that thing from a guy that I asked to let me give it a few laps and I crashed it on landing so I paid him for it and for him to fix it back up so I fly the Dazzler when I can, Its fun and simple and easy to put together everytime I crash it

RE: What Do You Fly OTHER than your jet?
Holy Cow!!!! Thanks for the great response guys!!!
I totally appreciate your input
Too late now, but maybe we should run a poll to see what percentage of jet pilots fly full scale, and what percentage of non jet pilots fly full scale?
Ted V,
