1000 flights
As it stands right now, I enter this weekend with a flight total of 983 dating back to 1977. With a little luck, my 1000th flight might go off this Sunday. There might be a flight or two I missed over the years, but I was pretty good about keeping up my flight logs. Anyone else keep a more or less complete set through the years>

Yeah, I've thought the same thing. I was lucky enough to be a pack rat as a kid. I saved my flight notebook in the same file box where I kept my beer can list, and I knew right where to look when I rediscovered the hobby in 2001.

Brother Bill: Good Luck on Sunday with your flights. Make us proud. I'll raise a brew to you.
Heck, was going to do that anyway... I am funny that way. I never kept a flight log since my first launches back in 1967. Too many competition flights over the years along with the sport flights. Chas

Thank you, gentlemen. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have bothered to keep up with the flights had I not found the EMRR flight log feature, which I found when I was trying to work up the nerve to write a review of my own. In fact, that's how I realized that I was approaching the 1k mark. I was paging down to get to my list of reviews I'm working on and saw that I have 983 flights listed.

Congrats on the milestone!
I too got sort of addicted to the EMRR flight logs, kept up with the for several years, though wound up dropping the habit when the site got sold and went through transition. Nothing against the new owner, but when the site went into brief hiatus, my habits changed and I stopped recording flights, also stopped posting reviews of everything I built. Plus, flying so many scratch and contest models, seemed kind of a hassle logging flights on those... Coolest feature from my perspective was the year over year comparison showing something like 3 years' worth of monthly totals, used to motivate me to fly more and more each year beating the prior year. |

Are those 2013 motor usage numbers up to date? They seem a bit low.
