I built my first model (eagle II) when I was 21. I finally got the guts and gumption to fly last year (31). I flew with my brother for about 3 months every other week. And solo'd with him there right at the very end. This year I flew once with someone else there, and then solo'd from there on in. I have gone through a gallon of fuel in my trainer and am already starting to feel bored.
So what do you do about it? I don't want to leave the hobby, but I just don't feel like I am as excited as I used to be. Heck after my 3rd time solo'n I was thinking..ok this is a rush..but I need more.

I am thinking of putting my sailplane together and seeing what I can do with it. A challenge so to speak with those rating systems. I also am working on a biplane that is beyond my skill at the moment. I am thinking of purchasing a goldberg Tiger II to learn a taildragger and a low wing plane.

What else would you suggest? How long till you started feeling ...eh...about everything? Or is it the love and passion of your life for years and years now? Just wondering.

I had fun flying today, but there is rarely anyone flying when I go. And I am noticing I am doing silly stuff now to keep the fun alive. Fast dives, etc. I took about 5 minutes to see if I could climb my plane up to the point that I could barely see it. It was fun flyign way up there but my neck hurt after awhile hehe. The controls seem to get a bit sluggish also.

Anyway, I just want your opinion. I know I am going to be yearning to fly when winter breaks which has yet to truly come in so far. 65 today ..amazing!
