It all started here years ago. There was a thread about what kits you had
on the shelf. Up until this point I built, flew, crashed....built,
flew,crashed ect. I had no idea that in this hobby you had plans(no pun
intended) for future planes. So many fellows had so many cool kits I
couldn't believe it. That's when I started collecting.

Kits in my shop:
Balsa USA Phaeton II .60(came in today from eBay)
CG Ultimate 10-300 .60
Midwest Aero Sport .60
Pica Mitsubishi Zero A6M .25
Bridi Killer Chaos .60 (had to have another after a re-kit)
BTE Venture 60
Long John 60
TH Uproar 60
TH Uproar 40
Rookie 60 low wing
Morris Hobbies Su-do-Koi 40
RC Runway Doghouse 60 Extreme
GP Big Stick 40(the first I got after I started collecting)
Sig Ultimate FF 40 profile bipe
Paul McIntosh's Ballistick(next to be built)
ARF Airborne Models Aircombat .25 (was for my son until skateboards ect.)
ARF Hanger 9 CAP 232 Sport .40
ARF Modeltech Magic Extra 300L
Morris Hobbies Balsa Nova .40
There's a couple Guillows somewhere.

SO, What do you have?

An industrious person could Google that thread and compare their list.



* A big pile of balsa
* A drawer full of control horns
* Three sheets of Depron
* Glue
* Paint
* Tissue, Silkspan, Monocoat
* Paul Matt's "Historical Aviation Album" volumes I and II
* Mendedhall's "Air Racers"
* A 3-view of a Lockheed 12A
* Various classic aviation picture books
* Pencils
* A great big roll of butcher paper.
* Not one, but two drafting tables,
* a drafting machine.

Now all I need are some round tuits.

What no spare servos. Also Tom is oldfasioned. Pencil, paper,
drafting boards, instead of CAD, computer, and plotter.

Those too -- although I'm short on spare receivers.

I used to know CAD, back when it was 2D. This newfangled 3D stuff is _not_ intuitive to me. The last time I scratch-built an airplane I just blew up the 3-view and built on top of that -- no special plans. For something complex, or for publication, I might actually draw plans.
