This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Seems to me that every time I am in my vehicle driving, I am always dreaming of the possibilities of a flight in a feild I am passing by. Wether it is in my vehicle, my work vehicle, or on my motorcycle, I am always looking for that perfect place. It seems I havent found the perfect place for it being power lines, too tall grass, not smooth enough, trees, fences or whatever. The place I have always found that are most perfect are not in the correct wind direction. At my location, the winds are a constant southern wind or if not, strait from the north. Hardly ever an eastern or western wind. We all know that we hate crosswinds in out hobby, so thats why I always scratch that particular location off my possibility list. AM I THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS???

See ya!

I know exactly what you mean. I can't tell you how many corn fields I have bought in my mind. Now if I only had the cash to make it a reality.

Nope;):D

I have a friend that used to do that and one day he finally decided he would just create the perfect flying field. Since he had the means he bought 200 acres of land out in the boonies and turned it into the ultimate R/C airport.... 1000' paved, wind down the runway and sun at your back. See for yourself

WOW!!! Thats what I call a feild! Dang, your buddy must have been loaded to buy all that property and have the $$$$ to shell out for the tarmac. Wow, is all I can say, Lucky, lucky you.

My motto: Live to fly! - Fly to live!

Man, that is one awesome private RC field!

I hate the sight of a beautiful golf fairway, there could have been a RC field right there, and there, and there, and there too! ;)

Safe Flying!

gjeffers, WHEW!! Dang, I thought I was. I have found one locally, but the dang goal post's would prolly get in the way! Youknow, when there is just one object like......say.......a fire hydrant, It will be like a FRAKIN' MAGNET!!! On the other hand, it there were twenty of em' you would never hit one of em. Hmmmm, weird.

P.S. Hey, gjeffers, look at the UCD 46 thread for your boys plane question.

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

I used to do that all the time, unitl I got a profile.

Now I look for the smallest place to fly the foamy.

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Sweet, gotta love the little bushes used to protect the pilots from out of control planes from the runway.

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Heh im always doing this, always staring off into a wheat field thinking man if only there was nice short grass there instead, Guess im just always thinking of flying :D

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Here is one for all rc nuts out there.

Have you ate food with a prop????
Well, yes i did. I was building a plane in my shop, which is 15 min away from home. I was starving and stopped at Wendy's. I ordered some chilli, but they forgot to put in a spoon. There was no way I was leaving the shop!!!!

Hows that for being rc crazy?!?

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Yeah- but I'm looking for one that will handle an RV-6:D

1,000'.... hmmm.... a Kitfox or a Super Cub could do with that...

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

That's why I usually carry a parkflier with me anytime I go somewhere - even to work. I have "tested" most of the fairly open areas along side the road.

And yes, I too have eaten with a prop. ( mexican food, not chili. Thanks for the tip Vsustko22! ) :D

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Yes "cwrr5" !!!!!
I am not the only one!!! It makes me feel better, because i thought i was hopeless!!!!

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

I constantly look for flags to see what the wind is up too. Now my daughter is 4 yrs. old and she watches for water towers. I keep on telling her that is wrong. LOOK FOR FLAGS...

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

i second the golf corse idea. i like to golf but everytime i go i am looking at the nice short smooth grass and slow rolling hills with flying on the mind. does anyone out there fly at a golf corse?

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

i have definitely had that problem before......although i usually do that most when driving down the highway in the backseat when i am bored.....

i would definitely love to find out how much that runway and support area cost to build....that looks ABSOLUTELTY amazing!!!!

Hey is that field close to humphrey Nebraska? If so my moms cosin has a real rich farmer friend who likes airplanes and he did that with a bunch of land by his farm in nebraska. Kinda looks like what I imagined but I have never been there. I just fly in this kinda small field by my house with my f90.

there is one aother kid I know and he has crashed 3 of his little electric pattern planes into the same darn goal post.

I am only 15 but If I have that kinda money, I shall live in the country and have a hanger with some rc planes and my own real cap or extra, lol thattle never happen. :D

Bro you ain't the only one:D

RE: This hobby has me. Am I the only one that does this???
 

Hey CraigG, that is one gorgoeus field guy! It's a real dream, where is is at? I travel a lot on business and every time I'm on the road there isn't an open flat field that I pass by that I don't imagine what it would be like to fly there. I do that a lot! When this hobby is in your veins, it's tough not to think that way!
