I am terrible about buying things I don't need, Kind of why I am glad the best stocked LHS around me is fairly far out of the way.
Today I made a special trip to pick up a buddy chord and walked out with an E-Flight Cessna 182 along with a brushless motor and esc. Hey it was on sale, how could I resist. (I learned this from my wife
)
At least this time I actually did buy what I went there for to begin with (I have forgot to get the original item in the past and walked out with a bunch of other stuff)
I'd say about 99% of fellow hobbyist suffer from the same malady as you do!!!
At least I know that I do.
My last trip to the LHS was to pick up a case of fuel. Of course when I got there I remembered that I needed 2 gallons of smoke fluid, a couple of new switches, the remote mounts for those switches, a couple of new props, about 6 feet of fuel tubing, and a new fuel tank. Hmm, that should do it. Oh hang on a sec, I also need a couple of new servos. You know how much I hate the standard servo arms so give me a couple sets of the Dubro servo arms. Oh yeah, I need to repair that plane so I'm going to need some balsa wood and a couple rolls of monokote. Hey, I see you still have that Sig Kobra kit up there. You know that Sig just discontinued it right?? So I guess that I should get it now while I still can, so put that in with my stuff. Ok, at the register now and I see the new Model Airplane News is there so of course I need to pick up a copy of that too!!!!!
Does this sound familiar to anybody else out there??? I figured it did!!!!
