Default Build it or sell it

All right guys,

I have a Chip Hyde 34% Extra in ARC form. I can't decide if I want to finish it or sell it. I got a Brison 5.8 for a motor for it. I have no servos or any other electronics. My problem is I have a 30% Edge RTF, A 33% YAK RTF, and a 33% Sukhoi airframe(needs some work) plus I am having a 40% YAK being built.
I have most of the stuff for the 40% and it will be finished by December. Do I have a problem. LOL Anyway I just don't know if I should keep the Extra or sell it.
If I keep it then I feel obligated to finish it or if I sell it I can put the money towards other projects. I just can't decide. Sorry if it sounds like I am whinning, I am just trying to decide what to do.

Thanks for listening.

Bruce

You should keep your flying fleet just to what you like. You will find yourself only taking out the planes you enjoy flying anyways.

sounds like you need to decide if you have the time, space, money for all that. Doesn't sound like it. Of coarse my friends give me a hard time cause I spend more time online researching stuff, than building what I have.

Sell it, or sell something else, and finish it.

Yeah I have sold many charmers. I try to keep only planes I love. I figure I am married so changing up has to be left to my planes. I buy em build em fly em ten times than sell them. Keep three planes you must have. Sell everything else. Take a picture though before you let them go. Thats what I would do.

Use the planes you already have until you have had enough, then sell it.! Just like the RTFs you have!! While you fly them start work on the ARF and then when you have sold the 33% Yak for arguments sake! You have that Chip Hyde to fly! Just my 0.2cents

RCer123 has a point. I tend to do the same thing. I always have one being built . Then as completion nears I sell a plane or two. Depends if you really want this thing or not. Don't do it because you feel obligated. You have to love it to bother.
