Dont know how many models I have ,but,I once put all my engines on a spread sheet with weight/type/prop size/bhp/weight of model and type.I was so chuffed at the way I could re jig the stats on Excel that I yelled to the re haired lady."Hey Sylvia ,come and look at this".She popped her head round the door as I said "OH s..t!".
"How many engines have you got?" she said[actually it was more of a shout].....

However, this is my list of new builds, repairs etc etc etc...
B H Travel Air
Seagull Arising Star
RCM&E P-40

Dart Kitten elec scale
Seagull Texan
And then there's Dad...
Miniminus (which I crashed on a slope day pulling to many Gees on the wing while looping)
Irvine Tutor 40 (which crashed with me at the controls because of Nicad corrosion)
RCM&E Storch.
So, just a small squadron!

I've worked it out and I've probably got about ten that are airworthy and another ten in a state of repair, refurbishment, or general maintenance. The more models you have the longer you seem to spend fettling and tweaking instead of expanding the fleet. Just an observation but I always seem to have something on the bench that needs a touch of maintenance.
