Been sidetracked
 

My plane hasn't seen the sky in about a month and half now. I have been working on tests, presentations (graduating college in a month), my wedding, AHHH. And...I have recently rekindled a interest in Microsoft FlightSim. I used to play it as a kid. I went out and bought the newest one for $21 bucks...about the cost of a single servo....and have been having hours and hours and hours of fun with it....to the detriment of my R/C flying. Plus, I have been flying about 1.5 hours a week full-scale.

So many airplanes.....so little time! What's a guy to do?

Given the choice, I'd be flying full scale too. Lost medical took care of that. You'll be back though in your own time. Just before I lost medical I was getting 20+ hrs a week in a mixture of single and multi-engine a/c. Miss it a lot, been out of it long enough that it is mostly a great memory now. Enjoy it. :)

and hour and a half a week of full scale? That gets expensive doesn't it?

Flight simulator is cool. My flight instructor flys fullscale and has made his quit realistic

Depends which way the money is flowing.

and if you own your plane or rent

Or if you are getting paid to fly. It's called a job, but can still be fun.

Very true bruce. I hope to get my private license before i die. I got a long time.

All it takes is time, money and motivation. It can be done. Good luck on it. It is expensive as a hobby but a great career.
