<DIV>Hi Ed,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I try to keep at least one backup. I still have my old Hydeout as a back up. I also have my old Focus I that is waiting for overall repairs. However, I believe that it is a lot better to have at least two models that are equal. I am waiting for my second Abbra so hopefully this year I will have two equal models.</DIV>

<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

<DIV>I was sitting here wondering, for the competitive pilot, how many backup planes do you need in the hanger before you sell one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I feel 1 primary and 2 backups are a good number to get most through the season of doom, but have had that not be enough also.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just curious on everyone's thoughts.</DIV>
