Status: offline 		You know when your obsessed with the hobby when:

1) You forget your wedding anniversary but remember how long you've had that reliable .40 engine to the day.

2) Everyones voice becomes an obselete murmour of the background unless they're talking about rc planes.

3) You spend your long saved up money for the holiday abroad thats been planned for a year on the plan you really like

4) You have 5 shoeboxes full of R/C mags

5) You dont stay devoted to one rc mag, you buy them all when they come out each month

6) You dont keep a track of your expenses

7) the walls dont have wallpaper, they're covered with solarfilm or buy an airbrush.

8) A small electric trainer lives in the bathroom

9) You keep every pair of wings that you have ever owned even though you throw away the plane

10) You can no longer smell CA even after opening a fresh bottle

11) one of the fridge cabinets is used to store CA

12) Your planes get more love and attention than your trusted dog you've had for almost 10 years

13) epoxy is a must have accessory on any clothes article

14) your planes get ironed more than your own clothes
hmmm...i know most of these from experience

Status: offline 		You know you got it bad when...

1) You leave the Superbowl after the stealth bomber flyover.

2) You own at least ten t-shirts with assorted aircraft prints.

3) You have at least ten RC mags all around your favorite crapper.

4) You can't wait until the scantily clad Stolichnaya girls move out of the way so you can get a clean shot of the Stoli MiG-15.

5) You jump up and down screaming and running around the house if any kind of piston-radial engined airplane should happen to fly over your house.

6)You actually find and visit Hobby shops when visiting foreign countries and upon visiting, try to figure out how to get aircraft in your luggage.

7) You turn down a trip to Pebble Beach to golf because there is a local swap meet that weekend.

8) You can't sleep the night before the swap meet.

9) You arrive at swap meet with bed hair, crusty eyes, same clothes you had on the day before, and at least two fingers glued together with CA from a night of patching potential sales together.

10) You come home from the swap meet with more crap then you left with.

11) Your garage never has and never will see a car in it!

12) You hobby has driven you to the brink of divorce and you rationalize this by thinking.... At least I'm not spending money on booze and chasing women... I deserve something just for me... If she leaves I can build in the house....

13) And finally, you know you got it bad when you know more about the nomenclature of Luftwaffe Bf-109 G-9s than you do about any aspect of your regular job.


Right on!!!

A Pessimist is someone who looks at a glass and sees it as half empty.

A Realist is someone who looks at the glass and knows that if he waits around long enough he’ll be the one that has to wash it.
