    My hangar

    All electric including the Inverza 62 and 50cc Pitts. Starting to really get cluttered. I think I'm finally getting to the point where I'm ready to get rid of a lot of the smaller planes that haven't been flown in a few years.

      Yep, airplanes are what finally broke my guitar habit. Just exchanged one addiction for another.

          Impressive collection, I especially love the MD500! Is that the roban 700 version?

                Did it for me as well!! I have to say though, it was more the lack of paying gigs in my town in the heavy metal genre that broke me from the guitar. I still have one laying around here somewhere, but I haven't touched it in quite sometime. I have never let go of my airplanes though. I was born into the hobby and it has always run very deep in me. That is a great collection you have there. I love the MD500 as well, but I have never had the desire to fly a helo. Looks great though!!

                    That is a great area for storing and working and neat. I'm jealous. :(

                        Now that is what I call a cool workshop. Excellent job Phatbob. A nice collection of models too.

                              Thanks for the nice compliments Guys! My wife has the two upper floors, I got the basement and garage. A lot of people tell me I'm OCD. I just believe organization is so much easier to work in. They hate me at work!

                                        Of all those airplanes which one is the workhorse?

                                        Or if you could chime in a little about them.
