Current scale planes in flying condition:

1)  A speed 400 powered Spitfire I've been using at a park near the house.
2)  A 65" WS sport scale Decathlon from an unknown kit.

Planes in various stages of build or repair:

1)  A Sig Kadet for slow fun and teaching wife and son to fly. (very first model I ever flew but new kit)
2)  An eflite Fokker DVII that may never get rebuilt.  I bought it assembled with engine and speed control.  It lost half the elevator due to improperly glued CA hinges and went in hard.
3)  Top Flite DC-3, which will be finished as a C47 with two Saito 40s for power.
4)  an unimportant sport plane or two
5)  A Pica Spitfire which got honorable mention in an RCM photo contest many many years ago and needs refinished and repaired from crash damage.  It's a beauty though.

I'm going to build another WWII fighter or two and I am about to assemble a sport scale PV-1 as a twin trainer for the C47 and my father's life long project.

My father has been designing, building and studying the PV-1 Ventura for years.  My grandfather flew the airplane in WWII for the Navy.  It is honestly going to be one of the greatest scale RC planes of all time.  I have to get my flying skills to a higher level than they have ever been in order to be worthy.  The airplane will probably fly in the next 36 months if everything goes as planned.

As technology has changed so have some of the decisions regarding the plane.  It will be YS115FZ powered now instead of OS91FS Suprass powered.  I obtained the first of these beauties for Christmas this year and will ship it to dad soon for engine cowl fitting.

I will start a build thread soon in the scratch built section.  There are probably over 200 photos of the work done to date as well as supporting documentation etc.  I want to share dad's labor which was my main incentive for joining the site.
