I started out 5 years ago with an "OLD" Schluter Heliboy, built a new Schluter Champion that was still in the box, I now have a Robbe Futura Gold that was new and never flown when i got it 4 years ago and it still hasnt been flown, and another Futura Gold gasser that is in the closet that needs to be put together. Son started flying IMAC last year and I havent done much of anything other than going with him now

This is a sickness!

I went from zero heli in May 2006 to:

4 Raptor 50s - 1 flying, 2 in pieces, 1 on a build table
3 MA Stratus - 2 flying, 1 in box as quick replacement parts
2 T-Rex 600 - 1 in pices, 1 on a build table
2 T-Rex 450 - Thank god both are in flying condition
1 MX400 - 1 flight old in pieces
1 Raptor 90SE - RF problem so in no flying condition
1 Swift 16 - in flying condition when I replace the main shaft

Hmmm I think I covered all.

I got bitten by the same bug three years ago, I just got a few new 30% to get back into planks again. Cool power 30 is getting expensive flying the 90 birds.
