I'm sure by now there are many members of rcuniverse that are familiar with me
and my inquiries on various threads. And as is the case, here I am with another topic of discussion. Nothing heated this time (I hope) but, more a curiosity of where your passion for flight came from.
I ask the question in the <u>Beginners</u> forum because a wide range of persons visit this section of the forum. From beginners looking for help, to the experienced who are willing to offer advice and assistance. What better location to ask this question then in the forum that stewards the love of rc aviation.
So.... why do you love rc aviation? And when did the spark ignite? Or even better yet, if you're new, what sparked your interest?

For those who are wondering:
It started in 4th grade when I noticed the airliners flying overhead in the country. I wanted to know how they did it, what it felt like, and if I could build an airplane. Rocketry followed, as it was the most affordable solution. And then as a Christmas present to my father years later I got him a Great Planes Spirit 2M glider which I hoped he'd ask me to build; which he did. And from there, I've never stopped loving flight. And I'll always remember my first engine airplane. A Carl Goldberg Eagle 2 (white and maroon paint scheme) with an O.S. .25 FP (that I still have and use)
Any type of flying is awesome to me. It's an affliction I love to have.</span>
Addl. Side Note: For those wondering why I posted this question, I'm writing an article about what gets rc pilots hooked into rc aviation.
