The south wall of the Hangar Ready use Racks is now full, there really isn't much room left for any more airframes and it's now starting to slow down conversion of some models from the standby and storage status to active service. The Ready Use racks have proved so handy that I'm about to embark on installing the same system on the opposite wall of the hangar.

On that basis I thought this was a good moment to capture the current status of the main part of the warbird active service fleet, not including the smaller and larger models, gliders, parkflyers, UMX and indoor models. These models are all geared up and serviceable, ready to take down, insert battery and fly.

Work starts on the opposite wall racks next weekend.
