Step 1 You must admit that you are powerless to overcome the RC and that our lives have become unmanageable without a larger plane.
2. Ive come to belive that a newer greater model could restore my sanity.
3. Made a decition to turn our will over to the airplane gods in order to find that sweet spot, and that perfect model
4. Made a searching inventory of my entire basement hoping to find more servos, motors, and lipos that I had forgoten about.
5.Admitted to the powers that be, the local hobby shop,and my best buddys that I now need something 3D
6. Im entirely ready to move closer to the flying field just so that I can fly more often
7. Then you must humblely ask someone to hand launch you 40% aircraft just to prove you can.
8. Make a list of all the guys you know that might have old airframes for sell to get a better deal, so you can look for that perfect beater that you dont care if you smash when you are flying low down on the deck as you are doing rolling harriers.
9. Make amends with your wife for running the cedit card up way to far on the last project that is still not finished, so that she will let you have the card back as long as you promise not to spend any more on the giant scale that is now taking up her parking spot in the garage.
10. continue to take inventory of all the gyros, speed controlers, captured ballinks, and then admit that we should have purchased larger or faster ones or something that took more voltage.
11. Seek thru meditation to learn all the manuvers that you have been praticing, the inverted and reverse versions of them.
12. Having had a spiritual awaking, we then try to bring our hobby to anyone who will stop and listen to our insane babling about toy airplanes, helicopters, cars, and boats.

These are the steps that I observe, Im not so sure its a good thing but it seems to work for me.
