How many projects can a guy have on the go? Or do I stand alone in having way to many unfinished projects that fill my workshop?

On the table, a pair of plan built Red Racer models. I finished framing the wings this weekend. Had a mind to start the fuselages today, but, things got in the way.

On the go: A kit built Astro Hog, just needs covering and radio, from AD1998.
A Stahlwerk Mk. III; plan built, from AD2003.
A CG Piper Cub, kit, from AD1993.
A Sterling Stinson, kit, from AD1992
A SPAD from December, plan built from AD2009
A Guillows Hellcat, kit,from AD1980's
An Ikon n' Wst Dehavilland Beaver, kit, from AD1992
A plan built Orange Crate from AD 2008

There's a few more that I can't think of just now, but, you get the idea.

I've built and completed 20+ planes in between these; just never seem to get back to the ones mentioned.

I think they call it, Attention Deficeit Disorder. A scientific study will prove that its beer and women. I call it a pain in the "butt".

Do I stand alone, or do you guy's have a mass of unfinished business as well?

If beer and women are your problem then your not too bad off afterall.
I think we are all guilty of the same problem but it's a good one to have.

I feel if a project dates back over 5 or 6 years it's time to let it go and move on to something more rewarding. I let one go yesterday

You're making me feel real good, but alas, I have my share of unfinished 'stuff' hanging from the rafters. Not too mention the stack of kits that I'll never build

Hey! Hey! not so fast. I am not guilty of aforementioned problems.

What does procrastinate mean exactly?

My winter building programme.

Build two Q40 racers for some US friends. Done.
Convert a glow powered airplane to electric. Done.
Build a glider. Just needs covering.
I repaired somebodies badly damaged Citabria. Done.
Assemble (Note, not build) somebodies 150 4 stroke size ARF. it will be finished saturday.

And it is only the beginnning of February!

There are no excuses!!

I'm with Michel.

If it makes you feel good . Don't sweat it !

So far I have trimmed the under construction fleet down to 4 and one is almost finished.

As far as kits & plans, we won't go there.

The ground hogs said 6 more weeks of building ! Woo Whoo!

ENJOY !!!!!!!!

I was going to join a procrastinators club but by the time I was finished procrastinating and went to join I no longer qualified!

My problem is putting my projects aside to help others!
