Keep them in the dark and fed them BS. I find that what my wife doesn't know won't hurt her. Keep a nice secret stash of cold hard cash and never state the full value of anything you buy that they might notice. Its just another one of the little things I find helpful in the pursuit of RC happiness. I spend half the winter building a really nice modified Balsanova and I had the thing overpowered and underbuild. On the 10th flight about 2 months ago the stab fell off exiting a split S,bad crash man really bad . She still hasn't noticed the planes disappearence. I think my plan works. I love her to death but She has a different agenda and I really love flying and spending money. Were both winners under my system! Happy flying and how do I get one of these new planes soon? Mike
