I suddenly have a lifetime collection yet I never even flew an rc plane. I have to do something with it now! It will be snowing here in Ohio soon so I was thinking about trying my hand at building the PT-19; I peeked in the box and it appears to be not too complicated to build.
You'd find many people involved in RC and flying have many interests in common with you. All vary a bit, from the real "techy" type of person, to the real "craftsman" type. Ham, CB, amps, instruments, guitars(I own 7), building/construction, RV'ing, camping, etc, etc.. It's a great hobby when you get to know people. I'd venture a guess there's a club somewhere in your vicinity, as your neighbor had to know people in the hobby. If you haven't done it yet, search the AMA site for clubs near you, and go out for a visit. You can just watch, or you can ask questions of most anyone you're comfortable with. They'll be nice guys at any club. You have what some might consider treasure. Enjoy it. It can be addicting once you learn more.
