Olly P Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've included the ones without rx's as I can swap them over in moments... My count is 5, but all would need some sdjustment before I actually committed aviation with them. I might actually get some flying in next week! - The Thriller, Easy Fly and Hustle lead the pack for flight with minimium adjustment ATM.

Major Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 As soon as I get ordered props from GS - it will give me huge one model in flyable condition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mcrory Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 6 planes and six helis. All flight ready and waiting for decent weather. T-Rex 600 is the only one to see any flights lately as it's the only one that can handle the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris basson Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sadly only 1, moving house has impacted Badly on my building, flying & repairing time so far this year & I now find myself without a decent bench 4 building.On the Plus side I've got an SC 70 fs that's going to have to go into an ARTF if I'm to get any decent flying time in this year, any suggestions for a 1st Low Winger?

Tom Wright 2 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have included nine Gyrocopters in my total of fifty plus models ....I assume they count ? . The rest are fixed wing of which many could be classed as larger models up to 16ft span , fully equipped and ready to go . The only foam models are my PL series and the big 182 ,the rest are a mix of traditional scratch built OD ,kits ,plan builds and ARTF. I am lucky to have a north facing hanger (big spare room ) so its always cool and dry ,this helps a lot to keep the airframes in good condition as some are now over forty years old but still flown several times a year . The 3 m glider in my thumb nail photo is one of the old ones an own design from the early seventies. I forgot to include the 10 ft span Blue Monster that has a hanger of it's own. Tom.

MikeS Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 3 that I keep airworthy but 9 in total, the other 5 need servo's and rx's. One is one the building board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 13 flyable - if it would stop raining!!! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbycat Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have 5 that are ready to go, just needing fuel. I have an old trainer awaiting renovation and another small biplane that needs an engine. I hope to be ordering 2 more airframes this year as I have two 26cc petrol engines waiting!! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Gee Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi Got 8 I can just pick up and put in the car (not all at once I hasten to add), 2 more, my original foamie E-Flite Apprentice trainer, just needs a rx and a FMS Mustang in need of modification to re-secure the retracts back into the wing. Another 2 more still in their boxes as I've got no room to keep them if I build them up now. All electric and all ARTFs. except one Wildthing slope soarer. SWMBO already giving me earache for the amount of spare bedroom space occupied by planes. No garage or shed big enough to store them.

Rusty C Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am on 5 also all electric 2 of them foam, Oh and it will be 6 in total when the acro foam turns up which I am looking forward to review its performance and quality. Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have 15 ready to fly. Would have been 16 but I had to remove the servos for another model and will need the rest of the sdervos for the next model. And not an ARTF in the lot of them! All ODs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I didn't vote. Got more flyable models than 60. 370+ flying models. Should be a "100+" box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Towell Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 For god sake do NOT let my wife see this....... and Yes we all need more. My count 18 btw with about 6 micro indoor stuff... love me some indoor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Hayward Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've 24 that can fly with addition of an rx or esc, four in build Ady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Although I do have quite a lot, I found that 2* 6ex did not have enough memories, in addition to my indoor models with their dedicated Tx's, I have now a 8fg, which has all 6 from my 2.4 ex, plus a few more. Yet the question does arise how many can you actually fly on a regular basis? In my case there are 4 which see action week in, week out. I do have trepidation each time I fly a seldom flown model, mainly because i am no longer familiar with its characteristics. There is a problem with the UK weather limiting the opportunities to fly when you want. Then there is the storage issue. I was told at Christmas I could have no more kits as presents. The reason being I have model stored on top of all the wardrobes, in my building room, in the garage and a lot of old IC models im Mums garage. As PM, very few are ARTFs, even less kits, the majority are OD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I clicked on 11-15, but on a count-up I make it 18 switch on and go (ok, bolt on wings, then switch on and go), one that needs a receiver then go, and one that needs a minor repair. One in build and two kits in their boxes. I need to put some ads on ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 At the moment- only 1! My Britflight Hustle continues to give excellent service. The Super Air needs it's U/C adjusting because they're too far rearwards as standard so the plane noses over all the time. My Dago Red pylon racer style plane is awaiting the new lipos (out of stock) and my Funfighter Hurricane is still being finely fettled. It's a good thing I like building as much as I like flying!

JC Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have had to go back to 35Mhz on some models as my T7C only has 10 model memory and I hated seeing my good quality Graupner MX 12 and RXs sitting idle. So new models get the 2.4 RXs from the older but still loved IC kites that go back to 35 megs. Cheaper than buying another 2.4 radio.

John Privett Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Weekend before last I flew 5 of mine - i/c heli, i/c f/wing, electric f/wing and 2 slope soarers. I've another couple of models I could fly immediately and another couple that could fly with a quick reassignment of rxs. Then another 3 in the loft that will probably never fly again!

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It's around 23 before descending too far into the realms of flying toys. A few projects on the go and a loft full of "when I get a round tuits..." Edited By Martin Harris on 21/05/2012 22:52:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
