Oh, an intersting side note. When I was getting interested in RC planes, my Dad was concerned that I would loose interest. I actually flew model rockts for a couple of years before getting in to the airplanes. I learned a lot from doing it, it was fun, and cheap, and I found out how much fun building and flying things is, and my Dad was reassured that the airplane thing wasn't a passing fancy. (I kept flying rockts for years after starting airplanes as well. Though I haven't taken it back up, I do keep finding myself wandering in to the rocket asile of the hobby shops)
