I've left a couple of times. And time was the reason in each case. Now the kids are grown and I consider the hobby estential to my mental health. How can I stay crazy without RC?

With all the arfs available you see alot more people try the hobby then walk away. Some are reall good fliers but consider RC as a pastime. Nothing wrong woth this, it keeps my LHS smiling and increases the "used" lot.

Mode One, I'm the guy who cuts the lawn and changes the sprinklers. I always figured I'd rather mow than drive. I live out where you have to own your own tomcat. So any flat spot makes a descent field. All you need is planes and people.
