Why would you factor in an hourly rate for a hobby? ...
It makes perfect sense to do so if the part of the hobby you enjoy is flying rather than building.

piper_chuck - I have no issue with someone just wanting to fly and not building. But that doesn't mean you should associate non-flying time with an hourly rate. The time spent building does not cost you money.
Personally, Idon't care whether a person does or does not "associate non-flying time with an hourly rate", but Ican understand why they do it. Ialso don't feel the need to tell someone whether they should or shouldn't do so.

P.S. For many people, time does indeed equate to $.
