Everytime you drive by a large puddle, you wonder if it is big enough to fly a seaplane from.

Default R/C addiction

If flying field location is more important than schools and property taxes when looking at options for buying a new house.

when you sleep, you dream about your planes. when at work, you plan out your next rc "move" instead of what your paid for, when the wife goes out you run to the work shop to complete that little detail, you drink a low class beverage to afford that new 4 stroke.......you spend every waking minute building,flying,hanging here or rec.models.rc.air....compulsive behavior all.

you get pulled over for driving recklessly in your SUV and your response to the officer is, "I was trying to do a torque roll!" And when he says,"why would you try to do a torque roll in an SUV?", You reply, "Because a 'waterfall' would have been ridiculous!"

Just moved and bought a new house. It had to have a three car garage.

Walled off the third section, ran heating and AC out there, carpeted it, spent way too much on a good building table, so my planes would have a good home.....
Yeah I'd say I was addicted.

Default Hooked on flying

You know you are hooked when your kid is at his grandparents and your wife stops you just before you leave to go to the field and tells you "lets go to the back room and play", and your reply is...I'll be back early.......

It has happened..............................

You work for a farmer and you try your best to take that grazing field and cover it to a flying field. Or look at that golf course and see what a waist it was just to chase a 2" ball all over the place. And they complain that our hobby is expencive.

You go to your eye doctor and get your new 300.00 glasses tuned for flying. Who cares if you can't read the paper...you can see to fly.....that's all that matters

While sitting at a 4 way stop you put the car in park walk around to a telephone poll and pull the coroplast sign off the telephone pole just in case you may need to make some elevons or winglettes (I have 7 seven now).
