I fly every now and then (eight nights in a row and all day last Saturday and Sunday). It really has no effect on my life other than the time I spend at the field.

*** Oops battery is charged - gotta get it off the charger. ***

Back to what I was saying. You can enjoy this hobby without it affecting your life.

*** Let me go get some planes loaded in the van. I'm gonna get a 12 year old started doing take-offs tomorrow. (I'm a beginner myself and never claimed to be an instructor, but it is fun to share the hobby) ***

OK I'm back. Where was I.

*** Oops, stopped to look at a broken fuselage and size up a few sticks. ***

Like I was saying. I don't see why you can't enjoy this hobby in moderation.

Have fun!!!
