Title: Like a kid in a candy store, I want one of each...
Post by: Ty Marcucci on November 19, 2017, 01:02:15 PM
How many of you guys are like that?   I swore if and when, I'd built every thing I had always admired. Only trouble is they keep coming out with more and more models I "just have to build".    So far, at least 37 different  CL models by name, some only one, others 9 or so, but very seldom more than two. Flying them is secondary for me. D>K

You would love my basement! When I last moved 25 years ago, I had to pare down my accumulation of about 180 models, but some were boxed to save for eventual retirement. A couple of years ago I started to open those boxes and am continually amazed by what reappears. Not to mention I have been building and accumulating ongoing... and I too have a half built Roadrunner with a spare set of cores standing by.

Some of my best flying days were in the Navy. 23 years retired. On shore duty in San Diego and even between cruises when on sea duty. Flew a lot of rat and goodyear and combat in SoCal and Arizona , Nevada contests in the sixties and early seventies now at 77 getting back into the ring to see if I can still fly the pattern
