RE: RC on the big island, Hawaii
Yeah! Its really bad. Went fishing last weekend and only got a couple of yellow fin tuna and a 18lb mahi mahi. Had to throw back a 7' black tipped shark that wore out three of us. Then did a float plane ride around honolulu and yesterday did a 2 hour heli ride. Honolulu is nuts, dont drive there. How am I ever gonna have fun with a schedule like that

Forced you into it huh? Man, sounds like you're a real pushover for a deal like that ! Who wouldn't be ? It can't all be that good can it ? I bet you can't go out in the yard & slip on some ice, or maybe scrape ice off your windshield. See, there are SOME drawbacks, even in paradice. I understand that the wind always blows there. Like 15-20MPH. How can they fly RC?

Spent two days in Honolulu and 7 days on Kana last fall. Absolutely paradise. Still can't believe it was real. I hope you ate the Mahi Mahi. Best white fish I've ever eaten.
I understand there is a flying club located near the airport, but I was not allowed to even entertain the thought of RC activities.

Oh yeah! That mahi was wonderful. Cubed and cooked in a little olive oil with a japanese light breading and a few choice spices, heavenly. I cooked them some good old fajita's with guacamole style deviled eggs (not yoke), my custom pico and wife made her wonderful hot sause. The yellow fin tuna was good but tuna normally isnt my choice. Actually, we got into some ice yesterday evening up at the observatories on Mauna Kea. Damn cold but crystal clear night viewing at the visitor center star parties. I'm too old for that lack of oxygen. Didnt get a chance to check out the club field in Hilo. There have been several days of mild winds, 10 mph or so. Inland its not so bad. And the $5 big mac, its a myth. Just about the same price as mainland. But why bother with that! Will be coming home next saturday. Really hate that flight.
