Default RE: Jetaholics Anonymous

I had truly beleived I had thrown my addiction. I sold up 2 years plus, my beautiful kit Wren was sold, my electronics and the lot but I kept the nearly complete Facet kit and the BVM T33 to show I had beaten this addiction.........

I thought not of aircraft, jets, kerosene, servo's, I had empty days, struggling to put some meaning in to their fulfillment.

Then after junior went off to university and I no longer carted him to the rugby matches day in day out weekend long, I had time, empty, unfulfilling time, to do some diy got the tip (sorry recycling centre) cutting grass and cleaning cars....

I said to junior that I had lots of time on my hands and he said go get a model aircraft.........[:@]

From that moment on the yearning, and desire took hold, every moment, how to do rivets, how to re do the bits of hte kits that are not right, I snuck out to the garage and held jet components in my hand, wept at my weakness and desire over my now sold Wren.....[X(]

I don't know how it happened but a DSX9 arrived and so did parts to build a helicopter, the slow way back in, my credit card that had near emptied started totting up. My hits on Ebay, BMFA and other buying site have shot up, I surf every day and go to bed thinking of how to do rivets and panel lines, and nealy smelling kerosene........

So I can say with proof and strength....... once a jet-A-holic, always a Jet - A- Holic........[:-]

I need a Wren on prescription........
