Nice blog Big Al!  Did you have all those planes when Eric and I first met you at 'The Hill"?  Wow.. quite a collection of nice warbirds.

Not even close! As many that get into the hobby, I went overboard and warbirds are what interest me. The J-3 Cub I built is the only non warbird I have. I'm actually in the process of thinning the herd a bit.

TCCobra would you be interested in my FMS/Airfield Bf-109E? It is a kit so it would require motor, esc, Rx & servos. I have painted the airframe a different scheme so IMO it will look a lot better than the stock one. If you are interested, you can have it for $100 which is what I paid for it. It came w/ fixed gear but I also have some retracts for it that you can have for what I paid which I believe was $16 or so.

I've run out of room to put these things!

Also there is a coupon code for Nitro right now that is SAVENP10 that will take off 11% on the B-25, Stuka or Spitfire if interested. Also the coupon code pricepickle will give 5% off anything.

Regards,
Alan

well I haven't pulled the trigger on a plane yet.I thinking about waiting on the new airfield bf106 version and seeing how much it would be and maybe see if the current version goes down or maybe trying my hand at  a EDF http://www.nitroplanes.com/f18c-64mm-white-rc-jet.html

Looks great TCCobra!  Make sure to take it to an open area for maidening because trees are evil; unless they are made out of balsa.

i did the maiden this morning it went well just need to adjust the landing gear to make it at an angle, the landing was smooth but where the pavement had a drop in it the plane tipped but not damage. i tried my 2200mah battery for it but with the landing gear being scaled it just wanted to tip so i was a tip on rcgroups to put some balsa or plastic to angle the landing gear forward a little bit so it doesn't tip over
