My two girls 14 and 10 want nothing to do with it... at least that way I could finagle more time at the field... which is  hardly any lately

I dislike not ever having enough time to build or fly. When I do have time to fly it is always way to windy. And during the spring/ summer/fall months I am lucky to get into the room to build. only in the mornings for 15 or 20 minutes or when its raining.

I dislike that 75% of all the planes I see look like a generic  ExtraCapEdges.

Dislike having to stay at home all evening for charging batteries... 14 batteries to be topped up for tomorrow!
Dislike imperial things, often have to toss those 136/44367 and replace with metric things (I always toss the imp things)
Dislike small ARF`s , none of them fly well.
Dislike clear sky when I want to catch thermals.
Dislike thermal skies popping when I did bring only motorplanes because there have been no thermals for weeks...
Dislike the weather report, they say there will be some rain early tomorrow, and I am charging 14 batteries for tomorrow aiming for 6-8 hours airborne...
Dislike imp things...
Dislike small ARF`s.

Love my RC-hobby.

Hmmmm... I hate the mess you make during a build project.

OH - and the wind blows too!

I like least, the guys that have never built a model in their lives.



They come out to the field with $10,000.00 jets or whatever, that 20 different people helped build that seem to remain nameless. They have all the answers too, so they can take the credit, not to mention all the attention, magazine articles and the endorsements they have.



Makes me so sick I can't fly straight. [:@]



Well, the models do look nice though.



Course, I'm just kidding. Yea right.

I dislike crashing, building the second wing on a bi-plane, fuel soaked wood, and badly built arfs.
