Or maybe not for now. there is no way i could have done this when i was in school. i lost 20 pounds my fresman year, because i couldn't afford food. Had holes in both my shoes about 2 inches in diameter. yes really. toughest times i ever had. Best thing i ever did for myself though.

A few of the colege folks here have gotten into slope soaring. They make their owm planes out of foam and wierd stuff for a couple bucks and run out to the slopes for some fun. Its actually a blast. They roar around like the nitro planes! i bought a glider myself recently to give it a go. No engines or fuel, no broken rotors to replace,,,,, it might be the sport of choice for a couple more years. most heli radios also work great for planes.


Good luck!
