I'm already there. One of my favorite planes is the Stevens Aeromodel Adrenaline Rush (see pic). A 22 inch span, wing maybe 1/4 inch thick, and tail a little over an inch tall, and with a 5600kv motor on it, well faster than 60mph. At 200 feet away, it's well smaller than a 100inch wingspan plane appears to be at 1000. One of those planes that you can't rely on your eyes alone for orientation, each maneuver has to be planned to maintain orientation.

The one thing that may cause me to rejoin a club is a Golden Era 60 kit I have. Originally planned to put a Tower 75 in it, then thought about gasser, now that I've got some 6S batteries for helos, I'm thinking electric. All the rest of my stuff will be electric (an Ace Pacer kit), a Shark XV (Raindave design), and a SureShark kit (0.049 ish electric).
