My mid-weight Mark Grand Shredder. I wanted to build one that would fly in fairly light lift conditions, so I built this one; came out to 3lbs, 9.5oz. -

Picked up this super rare 70's vintage Multiplex Akro from RCDad. It was practically ready to fly with servos installed. Has a unique pop-up canopy airbrake. I had been looking for one of these for around 3 years. -

Quite possibly the best value in an EPP 48" combat wing is the LEG Prairie Dog at $35!!! Haven't maidened it yet but all reports indicate that it is quite a performer also despite the very fair price. -

Got this little mutt from fellow sloper Droydx. He took an old Mark Allen Swift 400 fuselage and mated it to 3/4 of an Omei wing that had been destroyed. The result is the Swift-O. I redid the linkages, radio install, then freshened it up with new pain -

Currently on the work table is the brand new re-designed Fly Fly Salto. This is a glass fuse, wood winged 2.5M ARF that Nitroplanes sells for $99!!! How can you beat that? Can't wait to maiden it.

Yet to be maidened Funjet. I've got this one setup with an Align 430L 2250KV motor, 50A Suppo ESC, and 4S 25C 2250 lipo using APC 6x5.5E prop. Wattmeter shows 580W/39A. I don't think the motor will last very long. -

My Eflite P-47. Had this for awhile and what a sweet little warbird it is; too bad they discontinued this model. KDA 22-20L swinging APC 10x7E on 3S 2200 for nice and scale like performance. -

Cermark Victor mini warmliner. KDA 22-20L swinging Graupner CAM 10x8 for 350W. Nice little warmliner and easy on the pocket book.
All these pictures are of models that are currently flight ready. I have lots more that are waiting repair/refurbishment and even more in kit form. 
Yes, I know; I'm seriously addicted. I don't fight it anymore; I just go with it, you know what I mean? 
Anyways, my primary interest is rare vintage RC sailplanes. Since I returned to RC almost 3 years ago after a 15 year absence, I was surprised and dismayed to find that virtually all of the unique and wonderful kits I was used to were no longer available. I then set out on a mission to acquire all of these rare and interesting models, many of which I could not afford back in the days (70's-80's).
Working off a list I developed, I scoured the internet on Ebay, RCGroups, and RCUniverse in search of these rare jewels. I'm pleased to say after 3 years of searching, I've nearly completed my list. The problem is that I've acquired more kits than I could probably ever build in a lifetime. I'm certainly going to try, however.
I also enjoy the more modern designs, electric planes, and even helicopters. Here are a few more of my models for now.
