Pilot232,
Cool - I'm always interested in seeing other takes on common interests.
I see you're in my old stomping grounds - I grew up living in Deer Valley and later lived in Tempe.
When I lived in AZ, I was big into RC boat racing in Scottsdale. I didn't start flying until I moved to WI and found there was really no interest (or calm water) in the area for race boats. But the airfield located 5 min. from my house sealed the deal to start flying!
