Hmmm... Two part question: How many of you had your (ex)wife say, "it's me or the planes"? How many of you stay married?

You have a closet in the utility room leading the the attic crawl space that your wife doesnt use because its smelly and dusty and you prey she never opens it because its currently filled with several (more than five) kits that she doesnt know about.

Your going to pay $5000 down on a new vehicle but your a little short in your savings account like $3000 or so. Of coarse your wife still thinks there is $5000 in there. Ah how to break it to her gently. I'm thinking about a new anniversary ring for my wife.

You are on a first name basis with your UPSdriver and you have his personal cell phone number so you can arrainge to have your packages left at your friends store in town in case the wife gets home before you do.

you spend ten minutes trying to find a missing receiver and finally count your planes to discover its in one of them.

One old bloke I knew used to leave the boxes from his new engines down at the back of his yard in the open to "weather" for a few weeks then if his wife said " Is that a new engine?" he would simply reply "No, I have had it for years." And show her the box.

Disgraceful.

Some of these are just too funny!! Don't forget that the new model sits on the good dining room table for awhile to display and show your buddies.

Your wife is convinced that you are having an affair.........with an airplane!

People cannot ride in your car because you're missing the front seat (what?, I had to make room for the planes).

You've stuck your bare finger in epoxy....on purpose.

You cant wait till you kid moves out so you can use the room to store airplanes.
When you kids move out you take over the Master bedroom for a workshop and move into one of the other rooms. then knock out the front wall and enclose part of the front poarch to expand said MBR/workshop. ......yep!

You are involved in a fender bender and you check your rc equipment for damage before you see how your wife and children are

Oh come on guys, I feel a lot of guilt in this forum. I am addicted and so what?
At least my planes:
Never have a headache
Never complaint that I dont take them out to the flying field
Never have mood swings
Are always willing to be flown
Never ask to be taken to the mall, movies or restaurants
Never are jelous about the new plane you just finished
Even if you forget about one because you have too many, the day you want to use him, he is ready
And most of all, never ask you if you were flying somebody elses plane.

So this guy jumps out of bed Saturday morning as usual, loads his truck and drives away to the field. As he is approaching the dark clouds above open up and it begins to pour. He turns back to home very disappointed. When home he climbs back into bed with his sleeping wife and decides"What the hell" and begins to get frisky with her. She awakens and he whispers to her, "It's pouring cats and dogs out there". She moans and says "I know, and can you believe my moron of a husband is out there flying his toys in it?"
