I used to autocross in the summer and ice race in the winter with an RX7. After selling it I was bored in the wintertime. Visting the local hobby shop there sat a CGM Cub in the box and memories of my youth came back.
I can build this and fly it I said to my self! After building it I tried to fly it in my back yard. I ended up with a very pretty stall turn upon takeoff. Picked up the pieces and rebuilt it. Found the local club and joined. Eventually learned to fly the Cub.
That was 14 years ago. Every winter I build a new plane with thoughts of flying the heck out of it. Sometimes it takes 2yrs. before I get the nerve to fly my new creation. I still have most of my planes that I built, I can't seem to get rid of any of them. Too much pride in the building of them I guess.
Sometimes I get bored and don't go in the workshop but the passion always comes back. Try some different aspect of the hobby. Right now our club has indoor flying. My son (10 yrs) built a free flight and now got me building one. Boy have I learned a lot from this! It actually involves a lot more than just wind up the rubber band.
I am trying to instill the passion into my son so hopefully after the "GIRLS" age he stay or come back into the hobby. Right now he is on his 3rd year flying a EAGLE 2. If you have been flying ARF's try building one, it will definatly take care of your boredom for a while.
Going out out to the field and seeing everybody's creations fly and the flying talent that a few of our members have keeps me striving towards that goal! BORED? Never!
