E-Flite Mini Funtana-X Aeroplane (x2)
(Purchased: Jul 2007)
Very powerful balsa-wood electric aeroplane. Standard setup with lipo battery and brushless outrunner motor.
Update: I bought a second Funtana that had been crashed. I've built it up into a working plane using
spare electronics and some balsa wood!

E-Flite Blade 400 3D Helicopter (x3)
(Purchased: October 2008)
This was purchased 2nd hand. It had been crashed and broken. I bought some new parts and
rebuilt it (with help from YouTube video tutorials!)
Update: Bought a 2nd one!! No harm in having two!
Update: Bought a 3rd one!!! This on has been put into a scale body.
Update: Starting to go inverted!

Sapac Red Arrow - Foam Ducted Fan
(Purchased: Feb 2009)
I acquired this second hand, and it has taken quite some time to get it back to being flyable again.
(Needed motor, fan unit, bigger battery, setup, servo remounting, etc)
It's totally standard, but feels like it could do with an upgrade!
Update: Upgraded ESC, BEC, Fan Unit and Outrunner. And blue LEDS! (See vid 3)
Update: Now running on a 4S Lipo, and goes MUCH faster!
Update: Added LED effect Afterburner!

Hirobo Shuttle Sceadu - Nitro
(Purchased: March 2009)
Bought this brand new. I figured it was time to fly something bigger and Nitro rather than small electric.
It's taking some time to get used to, it's a much different experience flying Nitro.

Art-Tech Cessna - Electric Plane
(Purchased: September 2009)
I've wanted a plane that is a scale and a bit more calm than my others, sometimes it's
nice to have a relaxing flight rather than to fly hard and fast all the time. This Cessna
seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. It's the newer Brushless version.
Added camera mounts & permanent battery camera cable. Added a gyro to the ailerons.
This plane has become a 'video plane'. It's mostly used for aerial shots.
Update: Have got this on Spektrum and is buddied with another TX so others can learn with.

Art-Tech P51D Mustang - Electric Plane
(Purchased: March 2010)
Completely RTF and straight out of the box.
Update: Doggy Pilot! Added a servo to the tail wheel for steering on the ground.
Update: Flying better with no landing gear. Added a Gyro to Ailerons.

Hirobo Shuttle - Nitro
(Purchased: May 2010)
Bought this second hand - ready to fly. I just needed to add a Spektrum RX and fuel.

FlyingWings - WipeOut
(Purchased: Jan 2011)
My first foamy flying wing! LED's added to it so it's also my first night flier.

Speed Boat - Fast GiG - 3rd Time!
(Purchased: Jun 2011)
Electric - This is the 3rd one of these boats I've owned (the others sank - see Archive Section)
This retaining the twin motor setup, but has been upgraded to Spektrum RX, dual brushed
speed controllers and lipo battery. And a re-spray because I didnt like the orange, or the stickers.

T-rex 450 Clone
(Purchased: Jun 2011)
Time to upgrade to something that should help me with my 3D skills. This is 2nd hand, but is still in
good condition and should be good to fly. The previous owner was into 3D and it did well for him.

Super Cub
(Purchased: Aug 2011)
Bought 2nd hand, crashed, and in need of repair.
This is a 3 channel trainer, but I am planning to set it up for winter use; lights, and ski's (or floats) to land on snow.
I've already replaced the servos, installed a new ESC and fitted a Spektrum RX. It can also be buddied to train others.
Update: Added ailerons and made it into a 4 channel plane!

Pitts Bi-Plane
(Purchased: Sept 2011)
Brand new, completely Standard. Brushless version, Lipo battery.
4 working ailerons.

Blade 350QX Quad-Copter
(Purchased: Jan 2014)
Brand new, completely Standard. GPS, Altitude Sensor, Compass, Stability Mode, 'Return to Home' feature.
Complete with aftermarket HD camera (it's even gimbal compatible!).

Nikko Malibu Grand Prix - Toyota Hilux
(Purchased: Sept 2014)
Electric. Bought this as a non-runner, it didn't come with a transmitter and was in a bit of a state.
I installed all new electronics, removed all the half-removed stickers and gave it a damn good clean. It runs well now!
Selectable 2wd or 4wd, and selectable high/low gearing.

Nikko Scorpion - Toyota Hilux
(Purchased: Nov 2014)
Electric. Bought fully working, but it was bright yellow and covered in stickers.
All stickers removed and painted black, looks so much nicer now.
Running original electrics. Shame it's only 2wd.

Tamiya King Blackfoot
(Purchased: Aug 2015)
Electric. Bought 2nd hand - totally original.

Intercepter Ultra Speedboat
(Purchased: June 2016)
Electric. Bought 2nd hand - totally original.
Update: Original was very slow so speed control upgraded and 12v lipo installed!
Much better now :)

T34 Tank
(Purchased: August 2017)
Electric. Bought 2nd hand - totally original, although
I needed to repair the firing mechanism and reverse the track controls.

DuneThunder
(Purchased: August 2017)
Electric. Brand new for a change! 4wd. This was cheap and I wasn't expecting
great things, but it's actually really good!

Nikko Malibu Grand Prix - Toyota Hilux
(Purchased: Nov 2017)
Electric. Very original and un-modified. All electronics work as it should.

Tamiya Mad Bull
(Purchased: June 2019)
Electric. I recently bought one of these for my lad. It's not bad, so I bought one for
myself so we can go out together with them. Slightly modified with electronic speed control.

WPL C24 - Hilux
(Purchased: Feb 2021)
Electric. This was a birthday present for me.
4wd, completely original and much better than expected considering the price!
