RE: >Question: Why do you love rc aviation?
Hey everyone... I have actually recently started getting into RC cars as well. The reason being is that I have JUST had my 2nd of 2 big intestinal surgeries 3 weeks ago... I had my first surgery about 7 months ago, and since then it just wasn't practical for me to pack up everything and get out to the field. So the RC cars I can just go out in the front yard and run them and it's a lot of fun, and I'm now falling in love with the car aspect of the hobby as well....
But nothing compares to model aircraft for me... it's a whole different ball game all together. I should be back to NORMAL in a couple months and all healed up and I cannot wait to get back into airplanes!
I LOVE rc airplanes because...... You are actually behind the controls of an AIRCRAFT flying! With a car yeah the wheels are spinning and you turn the wheels to turn.... but with an airplane you have infinite directions you can control the airplane in. There is so much more to do such as 3D flying. I LOVE scale looking and flying airplanes and when you actually look at the plane and it looks real, but you're in control! It's just an amazing feeling to me and it can be adrenaline pumping or I can take out my slow stick and it can calm me down from any situation.
Anyways, I can't wait to get out of this recovery stage, I have been through SOOO much at the age of 20. All my airplanes are waiting for me in my shop, my DX7 has been cycled a couple times to keep the battery fresh, and I just cannot wait to get my planes back in the air.... I especially can't wait to get my Miss America P51 back on the runway!
