I haven't flown more than twice in 3 years, mainly due to fear. What fear? Of crashing the only plane I owned and not being able to afford to replace it. I now own two flyable birds, an Avistar and a Stik, but am still out because I cannot afford over $100 for AMA and local club memberships just now...and I feel the need for at least one buddy box flight to knock the rust off. Hopefully I can renew the AMA and then join the local club in a month or two. Confidence is a fickle thing sometimes!
