<span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i've been in RC plane stuff for quite a few years now and barely know how to get a plane off the deck and around the pattern and back on the ground, with maybe a couple loops in the mix. well, maybe a little more than that.i have some .20 size colibritrainer from lasermodels that met an early death from her wings folding back coming out of aloop (probably the .32 size motor on the fronts problem),an LT-25 (with that same .32), a .40 size RV-4, .25 size messerschmitt, .40 size piper cub, and a crashed and half rebuilt .40 4* i got off some dude at the field that was going to trash it after it's demise. allkits from the start.i'm not scared of flying, but i get nervous as heck when i get to the field. once i get the plane in the air, i think i'm okay, but just getting it there i think maybe keeps me from going as much. i admit i have an addiction to building, (or i wouldn't have so many planes), but what's wrong with the flying side of the addiction? i feel relieved as hell when the plane is back on the ground, motor shut off, and refueling to go back up. but then starting the engine again brings back the knee knocking. i've always soloed, never on a buddy box, but i build the planes and don't want to fly them because they look so nice and i don't want to crash them. the LT is the only one that's been in the air, aside from the other trainer. now i'm looking at an extra 300 .60 size kit from GP. is there some underlying problem someone else has dealt with or could this just be a normal issue? the wife is getting pissed that the garage (a.k.a.my office, not hers)is filling up, and i don't mean with cars or boxes of junk. she says i have to get "rid" of a couple of them before i can get anymore.

i feel like crashing them just to get another is seriously a waste of money, but honestly, the thought has crossed my mind a few times. what's wrong with owning my own fleet? how many is "too many" when you don't fly them all at once?that seems to be her reasoning for not continuing. it's my damn garage!!! is it possible to love just the building side of it? some times i just want out of the hobby, but then i'd have to find something else to keep my hands busy.</span></span>
