ModelTech 65"Mustang arc -still in Box
VQP40 -on workbench -final stages of assembly
Global Folker still in box
Pica 1/6 P40 -still gathering parts for assembly
Sportman Avation P40 going thru a major bash -on workbench
Ok would you try to finish what i have and simply just get accesories or go for new ??
New targets include -

I say decide On what YOU really Want to Fly next...Consolidate what you have ...sell off what you dont really want and get to work...I just did the same and am having a Ball...
This way you will have exactly what you are Wanting to FLy not Flying what you Have... my humble opinion
How about a nice 80" IMAA legal Plane..Even better how about a really nice and stable ARF TWIN...Like a OV-10 Bronco ARF...Powered by Two .60-90 2 strokes or .70-.90 4 Strokes...
go here....Only 375 SHipped to your door and it is a proven design and is very impressive in size..I have one...

All nice planes. Hard to chose!

Personally, I wouldn't want to make a gift-giver sad when (not if) I crashed a model, but I have yet to crash a power tool.
When you've collected the right tools you can make some nice goodies to hand out when it's your turn. The Redhead Herself has a couple of very nice jewelry cases, for example.
That I'm now supposed to fill . . .

Ya, I'd go the tool route too--drill press, band saw, scroll saw, heck even a mini lathe if you're into metal fabrication.
All I saw on your list were planes. Maybe an engine for the bird you really want to fly next. Kinda force you into building it.
Oh, to be in your position

I don't see any jets in your stable. So, if your family really wants to get you something special, how about a BVM F-100 kit with a JetCat Titan turbine and Futaba's new 14Z radio.
Now, THAT'S a birthday present!!! It just spells love!!

Ok warbird now that has to be the best post yet !!!! I have only flown prop jets and e -flight jets so a turbine is way out of my league ,Have flown them all the time on the GP2 flight sim but I know that is not reality so I would not dare ask for one .
I could see it now "birthday wish gone bad- " rc jet hits local forest , burns down 10 acres " film at 11:00
lol
