Well Guys,
I started in December and now have ten planes. When I started out one was plenty. Then this strange thing happened. I started to rationalize buying bigger and then bigger and so on. I have to stop now. I have a Cub 60 size on my table about 1/4 done and an ARF Funtana X 100 in the box with all the equipment still in their boxes. An Aviation Models 30% Yak 54 in the box and I can't seem to say NO!!! I have spent way to much money and the looks I get when The UPS Man comes is like this from my wife.[:@] So then I have to spend more money to buy her things so she won't divorce me! This is a disease!
Broke and addicted,
Gibbs
Now I don't feel so bad.
I started in Nov. 05 and I have only 6 flyable planes, (4 glow and 2 gas). One flyable foamy, (I have flown through 6 foamies), and 4 foam kits on the shelf, (along with another electronics set-up for foam), just in case. I have 6 Lipos for foam.
I have 4 small glow engines and a bunch of standard servos which I no-longer need. I have laid to rest 4 planes. 1 was me and 3 were mechanical, (also my fault, but not from flying errors). I have burned over 30 gallons of glow fuel and a few gallons of gas.
I am a member of 4 clubs and I fly almost every single day....except most Sundays. It's getting better though. I only took 3 airplanes on our last vacation.
I am now looking at trailers and another 100cc plane....maybe even a 40%...... Wife is OK with it all so far. But she is gonna be P!$$#D if she ever finds out that DA 50 and DA 100 don't stand for DA $50 and DA $100.
