Just a few thoughts to get the ball rolling. You know your a Junkie for R/C when....

....you go to your mail box and pass over your wifes Victoria Secret catalog for a flier from Tower!

....your hang you head out the window on the Interstate cause you swore that Buzzard was a 1/4 scale Cub!.

....you love the smell of glow-fuel in the morning!

....you break-out in a cold sweat when you see the word "SALE" in the window of your LHS!

....on Jan 1st you've already got a plane, an engine and a radio picked out for this years Birthday,Anniversary & Christmas

YOUR TURN GUYS!

Your kids get tired of going to the field with you because you don't crash enough anymore.

Get layed off on 12/2, you can't pay your bills, and your family's xmas presents from you are:
Wife ARF
Kid 1 Tx
Kid 2 Engine
Kid 3 Rx
Kid 4 Fuel
Kid 5 Servo
Kid 6 Servo
Kid 7 Servo
Kid 8 Servo

Fail to come back from lunch break when the weather is great, and everybody knows you went to the field.

It's hard to keep sight of your plane because the rain is falling in your eyes.

The ceiling of your house looks like a flight museum.

Nobody can eat at the dining table because it's covered with R/C stuff.

The family car is broke down so you borrow a friend's so you can get to the field.

...........all your blue jeans have hard spots of CA on them.

...........the wife has said"what's that smell" more than once a week.

..........she catches you cutting Monocote on one of her glass front paintings.

.........the hobby shop has a coffee mug with your name on it.

you buy a $6000.00 Enclosed trailer for 1 1/8 scale truggy just to look cool!

instead of your wife telling you no, she just shakes her head, because if she tells you know you pout like a little kid until you get your way

Very good so far....How about:

Your Dogs name is SERVO!
Your kids name is JR.
The Bird has two names Li-Polly!.
And you cell phone ring tone is a fly-by of a P-51!

Believe it or not, but the pants I wore to work this morning have a hardened CA spot on them! Actually, I have bent the spot back and forth until it cracked, now I have a hole in them

! Guess I'll have to buy some new work pants...

Well what fun is the CA spot if you cant mess with it till it cracks? Besides I have all the matching CA spotted T shirts.

You build a $50,000.00 addition on the house, just so you can have your own hobby room.
You ask the wife to go out to dinner just because the hobby store is next to the diner.
Your boss catches you with a park flyer in your work truck. ( I have been busted on this one more than once.)
You have your house phone forwarded to the local hobby store.
You can not wrap a Christmas gift, but you covering jobs are so smooth.
You tell the babysitter to meet you at the field around 5:30.
