I've got 6 planes at home, 5 hanging in my "man cave", and a seventh plane hanging in my office. I'd say I have room for about two more good-sized planes in my office and then I am sort of out of space.
This boy needs a bigger man cave.
And if I build that Bird of Time...where the heck am I gonna put that???

Oh, by the way, Mitch, that sailplane you gave me is pretty much put together. I've got to buy a prop and spinner for it. Also, don't worry about finding a channel 08 crystal. That's for an entirely different frequency that I don't think is used for RC anymore. That must be a pretty old plane. That one was 27 MHz, and I fly on 72 MHz. So I'll be putting a new receiver in it anyway.
Know what? That thing weighs 20 ounces. With that smaller wing, it must have really flown pretty fast...kind of like my orange Peregrine did. I can certainly see why you wanted a bigger wing on it. That yellow wing looks fabulous on it. I just taped over the damage. This will be another beater to practice on.
So thanks.
And I think I will just build a simple toss-glider out of the little orange wing. Just something to throw around while I wait for batteries to charge. Definitely let me know before you toss anything.

That plane was my first plane. I had two of them and flew them exclusively for my first few months. You have the better version of this one below. I'm glad you are bringing it back to life. Oh, and they still send 27MHz radios with the cheap airplanes...  It is the Shun Da "Accipter Badius"... www.nitrorcx.com/3jaj3picubra.html |
