[pompeyjohn]

Blade CX2. Bought from a store in Berlin before they were on sale here... so really struggled to get parts early on.
Raptor 50 SE. Bought on ebay to be sold on ebay. Made a bit of profit.
Mini Titan 325. Liked it, but sold to fund a...
Trex 450 SEv2. Which was stunning, and I sold for far too little on ebay and still regret doing. Sold to fund a ...
trex 600e. No batteries at the moment, but building up a lot of spares.
I have also had an Gaui EP100 from fung. Was great, but a bugger to build. Likewise one of those little the Walkera things. Which I am going to sell as I never use it now I have a Blade MCX.

Truth is I like building these things as much as flying them.

Next up will probably be an Outrage G5.... or a large scale project.

Their pretty much in order, but I did occasionally own multiples of the same heli (Space Baron, X-Cells and Milly come to mind)

Morley Bell 47G
Hirobo Falcon 505
Schluter Junior 50
Kalt Baron 20MX
Hirobo Shuttle
Concept 30 DX
Concept 30 SE
Kalt Whisper
Kalt Omega Pro
Concept 30 SX
Kalt Space Baron
Kalt Space Baron S
Robbe Futura (The early one with gold frames)

Hirobo Tsurugi
Kalt Baron 30
Robbe Millenium Metal
TT Raptor 30
X-cell 60 Carbon Custom
X-Cell 60 SE
Robbe Eolo Pro
Bergen Intrepid
Robbe Millenium Carbon
Henseleit 3DNT
Hirobo Freya
Raptor 90
Henseleit 3DMP
T-Rex 450 XL

If I was honest, my favorites have been the Schluter's, Robbes and Henseleits as I just love the quality of the German engineering. A close second would be the Kalt Space Barons. Its a real shame they didnt stay in business.

Not a cheap hobby though, is it
