Post'em....Old planes you miss having

[Jetpainter]

You really didn't leave any doubt about that one did you @Pistolera !

Yeah, you know it's bad when the photo of the remains includes a chain saw.

I miss them all....

Even though I do still have this Curare, I retired it years ago so I do miss flying it. I didn't build this one, but I've owned it for about 30 years. I started to sand and repaint it a long time ago, but never did.

I have a Curare (2), Skymaster, Eclipse, Phoenix 7 and 8 and two or 3 more originals all in need of repair. Then there are the kits; many MK, Zigzaw, etc to be finished. Add in some arfs, P-7, Intruder, Kaos....... They are fun to collect.

I flew the monocote off my Sig 4 Star 40. Years and years of flights. Other favorites that accumulated years of flights were Patty Wagstaff extra 300, Aviation Models 100cc Yak.

It's a sickness. There is a twelve step program to cure it. One of the steps is to send them all to me.

I've actually sold a few off. A big Tipo I wished I had kept, a nice Curare and another P-8.

As my Dad used to say...."Always try your best Son!"

Yeah, you know it's bad when the photo of the remains includes a chain saw.

Yeah....and had to cut down 3 trees to get it close enough to the ground so my son could climb up and throw the carnage down!!!!

That is an "AMAZING" looking plane. I would miss it too. It's funny you started this thread. I was just thinking about that very thing. @Snoopy1 brought back a memory (Thank you) from so many years ago and I had thought about starting a "Your Old Love Affair Planes" thread.
Of course I don't have a photo of my Bob Dively 1/3 scale Super Stearman or my Top Flite P-40. But here are a few of my all time Favorites that I miss. I can't believe I never finished the "Stang". Ugh!

Carl Goldberg Sukhoi/O.S. Gemini 1.60 twin.

Ohio Giles/ZDZ 80 twin.

Lanier 1/3 scale Extra 300/Moki 3.6 twin.

Bud Nosen Mustang

Oh yeah...and this one from not so long ago.
Hangar 9 B-25 Mitchell/Saito .72's

 

[Snoopy1]

This is one I wish I would have never sold. It was in my glow days, but it is still my favorite airplane.
