Heh all, Just returning back to the hobby and loving it.
Currently flying a Bee to get my flight hours back up (It's not like riding a bike)
Fixing up a scale Machi build up for the weekend (Don't know how it lasted 5 years on top of a closet)
Smashed a Ripmax Evolution last weekend (Not real impressed with how this thing behaves)
Building up to a 2750mm electric glider I bought off the net called a Mini Ventus.
My preference is for scratch built scale slope sourers, Next will be another Mig

Hmm, Jeff's shed or mine. Technically Jeff wins as he really has a shed. I only have under my house. Are we talking full models or bits??? ;D Jeff's shed has amazing "content"

I think I win on the "bits" as I like to collect other peoples "bits". I appreciate a sense of history in my hoarding. I know it's a sickness - don't know the cure. I did get a little cured recently and gave away 5 fiberglass fuzelarges, 3 odd bod wings and 3 complete 3m thermal models. Put 3 others through the bandsaw - weren't worth repairing. Was running out of room cheers Jeff

Oooo! Don't get into a big discussion about the best carbon Vtail here or it will hijack the thread! Start another thread and I'm sure you'll get a more than a few opinions!

I think we should have like a shed crawl, but with planes, and we still drink!! The shed owner can do like a show and tell, while his captivated audience knock back a few, cheer and clap!! S

I like the shed crawl idea - won't need any beer - I get intoxicated just with the smell of a good shed ... epoxy fumes... hot wire cut foam ... lingering smell of old castor glo fuel ...a little Aeroflight glue... Hell I've even been in shed's where you can get intoxicated on whats growin' in the cupboard!!!!! I had Cham37 and Sean over for a visit last week, and I'm sure I saw Cham37 dribbling/drooling at one stage - now that's intoxication! To be fair he was under-age and I shouldn't have exposed an impressionable young lad to such a broad assortment of treats - Shame on me. Happy to be on the shed crawl list - front bar is a little tight for room - will have to move the mowers out of the way. cheers jeff

Hi Matt, nice list there!
Is the Mini-Blade your most recent? I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
