So I'm not the only one with one of those! The only reason she tolerates the hobby and a garage being full of planes is I keep telling her I could as easily be spending money in the Casino or lounge chasing another woman that will go to the flight field with me. She still hasn't found a good come-back for that line!

I love it too...trouble is my wife hates it! I'm to the point where I have to make a decision. She has broken one too many planes and I'm really losing my patience!

RE: I have no life!
It was my wife that asked me what I wanted many years ago for a birthday and I told her an RC airplane and she bought it for me. Then while still building it she told me many times she would break it ! I always put my family first and found very little time to work on it. it was her that was very self centered and got or did what she wanted! but I got what I wanted a few years later when she left me and my daughters to check out the greener grass on the other side of the fence, then she smoked it and did every other thing till it took her life! But my daughters call me everyday to see how I am doing and its always great! I found the meaning of life along time ago live it enjoy it because it is a gift and we only get the one shot at it on earth! Would I put up with a woman breaking my planes! Well lets just say she could have the boot thats up her ***** when she leaves!

I was out at a New Years party tonight and all I could think about was what time I could get home by so I could get to bed. I wanted to get a start on my new plane tomorrow that I am puttimg a DLE 111 on. It should be a monster. An AMR Giant Stick that is meant for a 50 to and 80. Yea I got it bad.....I had a life for a while until I decided to get back into this hobby. I love it though and for the life of me I can't figure out why I took a 13 year break. Funny how priorities change over time. Nice thing is now I can afford the things I only dreamed about before.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!!
ENJOY EVERYTHING AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

RE: I have no life!
Doug - this ''hobby'' can become ''the Life'' - and obsessed RC'ers know it all too well. I went completely off the edge this winter, losing my senses completely becoming desperate for actual ''flying'' (I grow tired of the ''2D'' simulators, even having AFPD), so I bought a couple of the micro-indoor helicopters just so that I could feel a transmitter in my hands. Never thought it would go this far.....gassers are the greatest, no doubt, and the bigger the better -but for winter - well, these tiny Heli's have become a somewhat ''okay'' substitute.
Happy New Year to all !!! Buy more toys, play with them ALL !!!!

I am thinking of starting a "RC fliers anonymous" support group........................................Hello , my name is Dustin and I have not been able to fly for 3 weeks, This winter is Killing me! Normally I can sneek a flight or two in once in a while, too much snow and too much cold! I need to get one of those little Helis to fly around in my living room just to make sure I can still make something fly............... Oh man the withdrawals are just awful,, Im not sure I can cope. Just one more flight..........................please I will do anything for just one more flight.

RE: I have no life!
Are you guys saying that there might be something else to the meaning of life...other than model aircraft and engines...no way, I refuse to believe it. The most vivid memory in my mind has always been the Christmas day I received that beautiful CL Stearman PT-19 in Navy colors, held together with rubber bands, powered by the venerable Cox 049, what a day. That was more than 40 years ago, next to my family, it's been nearly my entire existence ever since.
OK, so I'm a nerd, no regrets.

I compared my girlfriend to a 'rolling harrier' the other night (New Years Eve)...
You know. Top rudder, push, bottom rudder, pull, Top rudder........

RE: I have no life!
Jody it is funny how some things will stick in your mind like that. For me it was my dad helping me build a rubber band Piper Cub Cruiser when I was 10 years old. I believe it was made by Comet and had about a 28"~30" wingspan. That was the seed that planted the bug. My first Cox model was a beautiful .049 Spitfire that unfortunatly only lasted about 30 seconds before I destroyed it in a crash.

I have a 36" wing span C/L side profile Cosmic Wind with a Torpedo 29R glow motor that I built in 1965 hanging on my workshop wall. Those were the good old castor burning days.

Sometimes we just got to get into the students head deeper! I had a student that was 13 that was heavy thumbed soon as I would give him the sticks he would get into trouble, I asked him if he was riding his bike what would happen if he through the handle bars all the way right or left he said I would crash, All I said was same thing goes here! he did much better after that, love to teach the ones that want to learn to fly, My instuctors words still linger in my head and is used allot in the teaching that I do like don't try and make a bad landing work!
