I Think you just answered your own question? You obviously still want it? Just mix it up a little like others have said.
Try flying the schedule with your tail heavy fun-fly, lol, you will soon learn to appreciate that nice sleek pattern ship again, lol.
Trust me don't go near them 100%Er's if you want to keep luxuries like r/c planes.
I've found that out the hard way. I'm Just starting an Aviation Degree, and the flying fees are horrendous, 80% of my pay goes to the course, the other 20% is to live on........ just. Kind a kills of any ideas of new rc planes.....servos.... um even fuel, lol.
But this comes back to Goals as Troy mentioned, My goal is to be a proffessional Pilot, and im not going to let anything stop me. That is the Challenge, just you against the odds and the rest of the world.
Competition, that is life. I personally thrive on it, and love nothing better than to be told I can't do something. All the motorvation you need right there, just to prove to somebody that they are wrong..........And more to prove it to yourself that you are right.

With that in mind......... set yourself a goal you know is going to be hard to reach, then simply have at it. Like say- Goal to move out of sportsman, into advanced, and be knocking on the door of masters come 2005?
The desire to be the best you can be, it has to come from within.
