I too have been addicted to this hobby for 11 years.
But about 12 months ago ,for some reason I lost interest.
I began to fell guilty about all the time I had spent building and at
the field. This time I thought would have been better spent with my two young children. So,I started selling most of what I had aculmulated over the past eleven years.
But,after some time went by, I began to notice that my relationship with my family actually deterorated instead of improving. It seems that when I was active in the hobby was the time I was most happy. And this was reflected back to my loved ones. So now; they encurage me to go flying. (Maybe they just want me out of the house)
Whatever the reason,it is a hobby that I found hard to give up.
Just my two cents worth.
