Status: offline 		Does anyone else have jets on the brain all day? I go to sleep thinking about how I can make *** work or how to fix *** , I run my flights through my head to put me to sleep. I surf the net looking for my next project, I get one done and need anouther! Am I crazy or is this just an addiction? Not that I want it to go away...My wife thinks I am just plain nuts (but supports my hobby). Am I the only one????

Status: offline 		I do the same thing...some days more than others, but what i find is if i don't get to work on planes or surf the net for jet stuff for a couple of days, i do miss it. I'm lucky enough to be able to surf the net at work, so it's ...play with the planes when i get home. Ya, R/C jets are pretty fun alright.. Fun indeed.

Makes you wonder sometimes don't it?
Actually I can't get to sleep cause I'm reliving the days flights.
It's worth it though, I'd never give it up.

Of course we are hopeless jet addicts-the only known cure is more jets-turbines and ducted fans and OS.91's.-I have learned to just accept it and live with it-plus I REALLY have it bad-I fly target drones for a living.

Status: offline 		Wouldn't it be nice if we all had the time and money to really get addicted to these things. I could imagine traveling to every Jet rally. And not just travel, but in a large self contained motor home, fully equipped for "on the road" building, repairing etc. A large trailer just for extra storage room.

Think of the Rallys we could dream up. At one of the more Western "desert isolated" Rallys "non AMA for this one," everyone equips there Jets with small rockets and we could let the games begin. Points for target kills on the ground, scale targets of troop encampments, convoys, etc. Humm being as though we all have lots of building time, and remember money is not a problem either, maybe some air to air targeting also.

When winter sets in of course we all would go south, to Tony F's winter Rallys in Calf, and then to Arizona, over to Florida to get stocked up with new aircraft projects and some Florida Rallies.

I think I'd better pinch myself cause I'm really starting to get carried away here, but you get the point. "Addicted who's addicted"?

Just dreaming

Hi Silver182,
how about a scale model mock up of bin ladens hide out-then we could drop a scale daisy cutter bomb on it............

Maybe we could just give him a Phone call:

Status: offline 		Hey Jackjet, those target drons you fly wouldn't happen to be F-106's would they? I am an air traffic controller and the airport i used to work at turned F-106's into targets. Man it sure was fun to see those guys test fly em after the change over...I would always tell them "speed is your descretion" and they would shake the tower windows with just under the speed of sound fly bys.

I sure do miss those days
