Well, since you asked smile

The "work bench" (by which I mean tarp covered air-hockey table) currently has this on it:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3248237/Yet_another_Suncom_Restoration.html#Post3248237

Once that's out of the way, It'll be time to ready the RC fleet for the season. I also hope to be getting into heli's this year, so perhaps a T-rex 500 will be the next project smile


PS: You static guys make us RC guys look like amatures. $150 in after market parts! That's hard-core.

Seems like you have some work ahead then and when youre finished you gonna have a great Hotas. I still have my old X-45, i have had that one for years hehe. Many many years ago i did fly alot of rc, i still got a Top Flight 1/7 P-47 half built some where in my parents storage house and a Kyosho 1/5 CAP 232 that is almost finished aswell. The T-rex 500 seems like a good choice for a helo.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, but here is my 1/72 Shuttle. Monogram kit with aftermarket decals. Still have some work to do on it. Wheels, and flatcoat yet to come.

This kit got my hands dirty so to speak for the 1/72 Shuttle Stack W/boosters that revell is re-releasing this month! It will be a monster!

Man thats a huge beast. Really nice work on it and i think its the first model shuttle i have seen. You gonna need a huge space to display the shuttle with boosters. Really nice work and thanks for showing.

Yea, I'm probably going to finish the throttle and then wait till fall to do the stick, but that should hold me over.

The "half-built" airframes are actually one of the reason I'm looking into helis. I realized I don't really have time right now to craft RC Fixed wing. Planes are built with glue, sand paper, exacto knives and a mix of patience and intuition. Conversely, Helis are built with a screw driver and the instruction manual. But if the sim is any indication, you'll never get bored flying one! With planes the difficulty is in the building, with helis it's in the flying. Learning to hover alone will take me the better part of the season.

youre spot on about the half built airframes. i just dont have the time and money to go all in at the rc stage anymoore. Since im back at school and im getting married its not just me and my own freetime. Anyway i found that Sacle modelling both fit my time and budget and i have alot of fun aswell with it im very happy with this hobby.

Wow U guys make me look sad. I am just finishing a 1/48 Albatross D-3 didn't come out like I wanted, but looks ok from a distance. Next project is a Mig 21 or a F9F in 1/ 72d scale.
