My friend told me today that he sat in bed last night with his new radio, servos and manual, trying to figure out how to program it. Now that's sick...

While your buddy is telling you about his awesome new Infinity G35, what you keep seeing in your head is G23, G38, G62, ...

You spend 30 minutes taking 4 Lear 60 business jets out of a hangar so you can burn a few battery packs on your IF0 MK-3. Then spend another 30 mins putting the Lears back.

_ When visiting a grocery store, a drug store, a baby store, or any store for that matter, you look on shelves for things that may be useful for R/C

- You make it a habit of running garage/yard sales early mornings every weekend for the purpose of finding things (tools, gadgets, other planes stuff etc.)

- You are an implusive buyer looking to buy stuff that you think you may need to build and fly R/C within the next hundred years

- You can't visit a hobby shop without feeling the pressure to buy something...anything...and you buy something

- You have more than 30, 40 ++ planes in the workshop and still there isn't enough. You have to have that other one that you just saw at a bargain price

- When outside in front of your house washing the cars, or for any reason, and I mean any reason, you park an R/C plane in the driveway just off the sidewalk with a "For Sale Sign" so that passer-bys may see your hobby and will stop to inquire about the price (which is very, very high)... and you talk to them about joining the hobby and the local club

This is fun...the best hobby to get into...No time for taverns, no time for tV, no time for travel, no time for firends( they are all at the field), no time for wife...man, this is freedom. Enjoy R/C

your car gets broken into and all you can think of is "glad I pulled my flight box and quick charger out"

Instead of fixing a broke down car you fix a broke down plane, worry about the car later.

When you get into a car reck which totals your car and say, "Man am I glad I took that airplane out of the back seat, I would have been destroyed!!"

When you sneak out at luchtime and fly glow at a near by field, then get back and eat lunch and surf RCU.....

When you want to work on the plane out in the garage even though your wife just gave you the "hey baby!" look....

When you spend two hours at work trying to load a new roll into the plotter so you can print out airplane plans....

You know you addicted when it's Friday afternoon, 70 degrees with winds at 7 mph, it's 4pm, you can't get motivated to work and you type "RC PlANES" into google.com and just check out the links until it is time to leave and go to the hobby shop so you can buy the 2 13x4 props you have been wanting all week for your Saturday fly at the sod farm (while praying it doesn't rain).
-----OR----
You wish were 70 years old and retired like all your RC buddies that get to fly all day long (and their wives don't even care).

If your wife plans her work schedule around you picking up a new plane.....
