I realized last night I have been in this hobby about 30 weeks, and I have built way more than 30 planes (with all the replacements...hahahaha)...
and I've already built 4 planes this year... Super bee, Tiny Trainer (as a glider), P-38, and my Toy Hauler...So.....
My goal is to build 1 plane a week this year...52 builds...
Today starts week 5, and I'm building the Mini F-22 after work...

Here are pics of what I've built so far, just to catch up!

Wow, that's very ambitious, I wish you good luck!!
Are you going to do just ft designs or some community designs as well?

I've got most of the FT planes I want, so I'll rebuild some of those, I like to mess around and design my own, so I'll do that, any new FT master's series, (I have a Spitfire on Pre-order), and once a month I build a plane at the airfield as a demo, so I do something simple to give away...I build pretty fast, not super pretty! hahahaha...I don't think it will be a problem...and should be lots of fun!

That is great goal for the year! From the thread title I thought you were going to make a playing card themed plane ♠️♥️♣️♦️😆. I guess you will have a deck of planes at the end of this, time for sky poker?

DUUUUUUUDE! That is a great Idea...I'll build minis, mid-sized and some monster planes, and take the pics and turn them into "playing cards"
hahahahahaha

Ok...looking at an actual calendar, today is the first day of week 5, 2020...So... here is my build for the week...the mini F-22...was supposed to start it a couple of days ago, but didn't build it until last night...couldn't sleep...
I'll paint it today, and maiden it on Saturday!

Looks great! I’ve built 4 of the big ones, but not the mini yet.
