- you save the balsa scraps from a .40 size kit thinking "I can make a whole plane from that."
- you think that saying Cox and 6" in the same sentence is a good thing.
- you have scars on your knuckles and you're proud of it.
- you're favourite sound is "braap, braaaaaap, neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
- a gallon of fuel lasts you all summer even though you fly more than most of the other guys at the field.
- throttle, we don't need no stinkin' throttle.
- you have the reflexes of a cat, the eyes of a hawk and the heart of a 12 year old.
- you're clothes smell like castor oil, and you love it!
- you consider 20% low nitro.
- you tell other modellers your planes can be built in 2 evenings, even though you've never done it yourself.
- you haven't taken the wings off of your planes since they were built.
- a roll of Monokote lasts you 2 years.
- you build a couple planes a month and still can't use a bottle of CA before it goes bad.
- you truly believe that smaller is better.
- you purchase camera film based on the type of canister it comes in, not the type of film.
- you're field box has "Nike" printed on the side of it.
- you consider anything over a .25 "giant scale".
- you'll buy a 30 year old kit or engine off of eBay, "NIB", with intention of actually flying it.
- you find it difficult to talk to the giant scale guys because you confuse wingspan with prop diamater.
- you land deadstick every flight, and think that it is normal.
- your transmittter weighs more than your plane.
- your receiver antenna's have prop nicks in them.
- you can hand launch without using the run, run, run, stop, hop, throw the plane into the ground technique.
- you can fly rudder with either hand.

Status: offline 		Hey, that wasn't funny! It was true! I gotta print that out and take it to the field. Everybody will point to Flyswatter when they get to the launch technique. That is sooooo him!
