My list doesn't even begin to count the partial builts that I pick up at swap meets, or the rebuilds that people have thrown away that I pick up.

I am terrible about buying things I don't need, Kind of why I am glad the best stocked LHS around me is fairly far out of the way.
Today I made a special trip to pick up a buddy chord and walked out with an E-Flight Cessna 182 along with a brushless motor and esc. Hey it was on sale, how could I resist. (I learned this from my wife
)
At least this time I actually did buy what I went there for to begin with (I have forgot to get the original item in the past and walked out with a bunch of other stuff)

After you get out of the hospital, flying the Cessna should be good therapy.

Actually you need it all. Tell your wife she should be happy that you resisted buying the whole shop.

RE: Impulse buying
Let's be honest. It's not impulse buying; it's a compulsion. I know, I'll name it.....OCH(f).....obsessive compulsion hoarding (with latent tendencies to actually build and fly).[sm=idea.gif]
