You'd be amazed how much time you can find to enjoy building and flying if you shut off your TV and computer, and actually engage in the hobby. That's really all there is to it.
Everyone has the same time, they just don't manage it well. Too bad some have forgotten that. People don't need more time. They need to learn how to follow through, with anything.
A simple question went completely unanswered, clearly showing he's failed to return to his own thread. I can't count the number of guys who intend to start in this hobby and never show up at the flying field, or follow up to their own forum thread they started. That's by far a greater percentage of "false starts" typically noted in this hobby for decades. The hold onto exaggerations to talk themselves out of everything, it's almost a trademark of their kind. It's simply a growing group in society that can't execute any plan at all, financially or recreationally. They are only good at sitting in a chair, and playing with their keyboard with nothing to show for it but maybe a handful of YouTube likes. What an accomplishment! Thing is, I had a number of trainers sitting here last week, that no one wanted to buy, so I've been giving them away on Craigslist, and even "free" had a slow response. Too much to drive to a location nearby? They could walk out in their slippers, just like they do when they go to Wal-Mart. I can only imagine the number of other missed opportunities that plague their lives.

Since you seem to think I do nothing but sit on the computer and run up my post count, maybe it's time to clarify what I actually do and when I do it:
- Since 2012, 65 to 75% of my posts have been made during slow periods and breaks while I've been at work, including this one
- Since 2004, over a third of my posts during the summer months have been made using computers or Wi-Fi at campgrounds and hotels while traveling to and from events involving other hobbies. One such trip, this past summer, was a three week run down to Mobile Alabama with stops in Idaho, Colorado, two in Texas, two nights in New Orleans, five nights in Mobile, Pensacola Florida, two stops in Tennessee, Wyoming and Oregon
- Well over half of my posts have been answering questions on how to, where to and what to about aircraft and boats.
