Question What is the proper number of model rockets you should own?

I'm a firm believer in having more than one rocket myself (my fleet is currently hovering in the low-to-mid 60's with quite a few hanger queens).

So, how many rockets do you feel you should have?

All The Best!
Jim

Launching is Optional... Landing? That Depends on Trees.

I think 20 is a nice number: 5 each in tiny, medium, large, and midpower.

Add another 5 if you are into high-power.

Why five? If you bring 2-3 to a launch, you have a nice variety to fly and show off, and you can circulate through them.

I have 50-60+. I stop building them until I lose or sell or trade some away. I just don't have the room anymore.

Exactly what I was thinking, along the lines of John Rockefeller's response to the question "How much money is enough?"

Last count I took, it was well into triple digits...

Rockets are like Lay's potato chips: No one can build just one...

You only have a max of 50?? I know you have n+1, but your ranges are too shallow. I think:

1-25
26-100
101-300
301 and above

Is more appropriate

I think you may be right... MORE is appropriate
