Reno Racer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 John, I fear you are right! my fleet has changed a little since I posted, and I'm trying to minimise ( although for some sub conscious reason, that equates to more models) listing, so I can remember ( on order of how they hang in the workshop): Balsa USA 1/4 scale Nieuport 11 - 26 cc petrol Balsa USA 1/6 scale Bristol M1 - electric with sound system WOT 4 - 52 2 stroke Eflite Advance 25 - electric H9 Denight Special - 46 2 stroke Parkzone Habu 2 Parkzone F4F Wildcat Parkzone Inverza 280 Jepe F100 90mm EDF SAS Wildthing Multiplex Twister EDF and on the project board - RBC Kits Gloster E28/39 jet for new 90mm Wemotec Evo fan. oh and Helis: Raptor 30 and Blade MSRX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just realised by my own post, there seems to be little logic to my fleet variety, a mix of all types of planes and power systems. I even fly on both Futaba ( all less BnF) and Spektrum. And although I have a lot of electric planes, I hate the time consumption of charging all those batteries and prefer IC. I guess I have a 'rounded mix' for whether I'm in a hooligan mood (the overpowed WOT4 or Habu) or happy to potter around with the WW1 fighters.

Ernie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well, It depends on what is flyable. There are 3 big electric gliders ready to go for summer. And 3 more that can fly, and have flown, but need a wee bit fettling (servos been removed etc) before the off, so I suppose it's 6 ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It would be interesting to see a percentage of gas/ glow to electric in a pilots collection. Im 99 % glow/ gas. I have one electric slope soarer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc bazaar Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My count is 4 to 7 flyable models. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Clare 1 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I keep three models hanging on the workshop, wall, fully charged and ready to go. Alongside these I usually have two or three in build on the bench or stashed around the workshop. Altho I really enjoy building from scratch or from kits I hate covering so I do tend to have an unusually large proportion of 'nude' models. I also have a selection of models in the loft and the closest they ever get to flying is up and down the loft ladder. Lots of 'one day ill build that!!! ' plans and kits too. One day Ill sort the lot out..........................maybe !. Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyn44 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have 13, but shamefully admit 8 of which I have never flown! I like building, got one on the go, 90% complete. Also two more kits in boxes, unopened. The four or five I fly keep me happy, I know them. I do not enjoy flying a new model, don't ask why, I just don't. Bit sad really, but it keeps me off the streets! Happy new year to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Jackson Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 10 that could goafter a charge. 1 getting a new petrol motor, 1 scale been building for 3 years, 1 nude electric being covered, small Aldi heli to keep grandkids amused and an Inductrix drone I won in this years club dinner raffle. Cost me a bit to get a DSMX trannie to get that going though! I think some of us may have more serviceable aircraft than the RAF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Pegden Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 18 although two need to get over 1st flight nerves. I requires a new speed controller plus two under construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
