Status: offline 		I have been involved with rc airplanes for over 29 years. married to my lovely bride for 31 years this month. She tells me: " You that & those airplanes is a sickness, just a sickness!" I tell her, "Yeah, but it's better than alcoholism!" To which she replys, "Yeah... but it is still a sickness!"

My daughter used to go flying with me until she became a teenager. Last year she attended a fly-in with me. (she was 28 at the time) Early in the morning she came up to me and said, "Dad, there is something wrong with me." When I asked what, she replied, "I love the smell of burnt glow fuel in the morning!" I told her that there was nothing wrong with her.

After she was married, her husband was sitting in our living room reading. My daughter said, "Look Dad, the sickness begins!!!" He was reading RCM and had a Tower Talk next to him. He now goes flying with me every Sunday...

My Peg is great with it and when we went house hunting see told the realtor that the house had to have a shop, or a place to put one or we won't look at it. she has put up with my madness from the start and even gets mad if I don't go to the shop or field. She got me a Phantom a few years ago and on my last b'day a Stuka and when I needed this certain engine she told me to buy it and not to worry about it!!!!
When it comes to my Peg as far as I am concerned she is the greatest!!!!!!

Status: offline 		My wife is very supportive of it. The kids love to go out to the field with me and to the shop when i build (More free time for mom). Its much cheaper than my other motorized hobbies, and i have less free time to beg for sex. The biggest thing is its something i can do with my boys, and the guys at the club are really good about having the kids around the field as well.

Makes everyone happy

Status: offline 		Pretty doubtful you'll ever find a wife at the flying field or in your basement, or the rod and gun club for that matter. If you're looking you should get out more often to places where there are actually women. But I wouldn't quit the hobby - just cut back a bit maybe.

Ex-Wife Hated it with a passion and used it against me in court for our divorce.
First Girlfriend after her loved it and wanted to learn.
Second thought it was great and boys with toys are sexy.

LOL, but right now its just ME! Guess that means I am dating myself, soooo, I LOVE IT!

LOL

Aloha

Status: offline 		My wife actually suggested I get back into RC after having to quit 13 years ago when our children were born. Now the two oldest are 13 and 12 and they help tremendously with the 4 yr old. Anyway this summer they all went to my mothers for a month and since I'm going back to college and only work weekends she told me to find something to do so I wouldn't drive her crazy when she got home from work.

And I quote, " Why don't you buy yourself another RC plane since the shooting range is closed during the week, that'll give you somtething to do until the kids come home and school starts back."

Well that was all it took, I've just about finished building my second plane and can't wait for fall break so I can start on my third plane, a Super Sportster 60. The worst part is having to split my spending money between planes and guns. LOL

Status: offline 		I've been married a little over 2 months now, and I've been into planes only 6 months, but she's cool with it. She likes it cuz it gives me something to do when she works weird hours (RN). The money can be an issue though, so I have to make sure I don't complain when she spends too much or it backfires on me. We'll see what happens when I go back to school this fall and I have to fly off only 1 income! It was funny though, before we got married I bought all the RC stuff I thought I would need for awhile just in case she got ornery about it!

Status: offline 		My wife is the best. First, she suggested I get into it. Second, she let me turn the garage into my hobby room. Third, when the garage got too small, she let me turn the basement into a bigger hobby room, of course, she gets the garage as her hobby room for scrapbooking. She even buys me stuff. Once, when I totaled a plane, she bought me a new one. She is the best and I will love her forever.
