RE: First and Second Flights
That's one thing I'm lucky about, a supportive wife. She's always supportive of the hobbies I do. I also own a 90g planted aquarium ;-) That's quite a hobby, but the pace is a bit slow for me. It's shining in our kitchen as we speak, but there were ups and downs, especially now that it's a center piece since we've moved I have to keep it up well...
Anyway, there was one other field by where I used to live (moved just a month ago) and those guys weren't as nice, not nearly. They'll let you sit and watch, but talking is off limits, that's for club members ;-) There was one sole guy that I managed to strike up a conversation with (but then he wouldn't stop talking ;-)
Anyway, I can't imagine that there are too many other clubs out there that don't have nice members. I don't know, but since I started building my plane, it's turned into a group thing. It would be too boring going down to the field and flying alone ALL the time, right? Anyway, I can't wait to get into it full swing.
