Default Really is an addiction

Here are my findings over the past few days.

For the new members, a little background..

Got into hobby last year. Built a horrible plane, crashed and totaled 3 planes including a spad (Yea, i know.. bad.) Don't have a good reputation here for some actions.

Anywhom, I have recently gotten into RC cars, and enjoy them alot, however I still have a love for planes. When i was flying last year, I couldn't wait for the day that I could drive to the field myself, fly all day, and drive back home. I used to express this a lot too with the group there i flew with. They betted that i probably wouldn't come back after i got my license, but it was something i planned, flying or not.

So this sunday, I drove out to the field that is 30 minutes away, to see what's going on. Here's the funny thing, No one remembered me, which i couldn't believe because these were the same people who had helped me out along the way, but it was normal i guess. Anywhom, so I got to see some flying, and I must say, the minute i left, i told myself, "Damn i need to get back up there in the sky." It's just amazing how I have dumped a whole lot of money into a hobby, but i can't help but stay in it. For now, I won't fly, but I will bet sometime soon, I will be back up, whether it be a month, a year or even 10 years, I'll be back here.

So to everyone getting started, get ready for the long haul, you'll be in the hobby for a while.

I've got 8 years of flying RC under my belt and at 22, I'm not slowing down. I'm in it for life.

I'm not sure how you can enjoy cars after flying planes. They can only go right and left?!?

Unless you run them off the house roof.
