    Congratulations!  Wow!  Your hanger is going to need it's own two car garage soon.  I'm looking forward to your photos.

    Now that would be most interesting ...
    ... given the amount of birds listed in your SIG that would indeed make for some very FULL photo's

    Yeah Fleet pic of you NEW birds and a fleet pick of everything

    I love fleet shot [​IMG]

    Haha, my hangar IS my 2-car garage, plus a 20x30 shop, plus one of the spare bedrooms in our house ;)

    Nice collection Mike, I really like the looks of the war birds.

    Thanks Bill :) Yeah, I'm a sucker for the warbirds - they all fly so sweet! There's a few more on my "want" list, but I'm also getting into 3D aerobatics so I've been looking at airframes like the Edge 540T, Yak 54, and a few others. I've still got about half of my birds that need building/fixing and aren't flyable at the moment, so they're getting first priority ;)

    Hey all, one of the planes I picked up at the Swap & Shop is a sweet looking seaplane - but I have no idea what it is. Anyone have any thoughts???? Its a built-up balsa and ply airframe with an electric power setup.

    I don't suppose there is any thing on the markings that would give a hint is there?

    Almost as many planes as cars now!  What's a car guy going to do with all of those?

    Haha! I sold my last two remaining cars at the Swap & Shop! All I have now other than my planes is two boats, the MQX, and soon (hopefully) my new Scorpion ;)

    I also sold my Kadet Senior and my 450 heli at the Swap & Shop. I had brought them just to help fill tables if needed, but I got a fair price for them so I'm not too bummed :)

    Yes it does.
    I had spent 45 minutes or an hour going through "show your sea plane" threads on other forums last night and couldn't find it.
    I should have been looking closer to home.  :)
    I wounder if it was a kit or an ARF model?

    Only reason I was able to spot so quick was because it's one of my favorites, I like to fly it in the SIM ...
    ... If the SIM is an indication she should fly real nice in the real ;)
