Insanemoondoggie-- Your name says it all. Wish I could meet you in person. One of the reasons I love this hobby is that we are all ages, all walks of life, and yet we are all boys (and a few girls) playing with toy airplanes. I LOVE it. Our hobby can be cheap, or expensive, it can totally adapt to our budgets. It brings together people like you and me who would never otherwise, for this crazy love of playing with toy airplanes. We have people from all kinds, from former real-life pilots to 5-year-olds llike my son who just somehow love airplanes. There must be a gene for it. I love especially the old-timers who are doing this hobby until they drop, and I hope to do the same. And, just amazing how when old-timers do move on to that great place in the sky, their equiment is still usable 30 years later. Glow engines and RC planes are truly timeless in that sense. Technology hasn't made anything obsolete in THIS hobby, which can't be said for anything else I can think of.

Anyway, don't give up the hobby. From your picture you look like the last person who might like to fly toy airplanes, and I'd like you to be my buddy in a fight, but clearly you're the "bigger man," and a credit to us "boys playing with toy airplanes."
