You have more RC airplanes than you do friends.:D

RE: You know you're hooked when....
When you have 10 gold case Futabas that aren't even good for a paper weight taking up space in your shop.
You start to get lower and more daring with one of your old planes because the engine would go good on one of your new ones. David |

RE: You know you're hooked when....
Everytime you see an open field you pan around to think... "I might be able to fly here."

You have the fever when you teach your dog 'fetch the chicken stick' and start making hand motions and mouth noises when he 'takes off.'

I also posted this in the RC Humor forum, but there are a few good airplane ones so here it goes:
ORIGINAL: IBrakeForNobody ...you find out that you've reached carrying capacity, meaning that there is no more room for your RC stuff because you have a pile in the living room, a pile in the garage, and a pile in a bedroom. (guilty) ...you bought a 12 quart container to carry your field "necessities" when you go to run your R/C trucks, but you quickly stuff it full, and get an 18 quart model. This after you got a large tackle box to store most of your RC stuff, but 40lbs is too much to lug around everywhere, so you got the 12 quart container. (guilty) ...the power goes out and it's pitch black outside, but you want to go flying tomorrow, so you search around for your glow plug starter, insert a used glow plug in it, and walk around your house to where you keep the wall-wart chargers so you can plug them into a jumper box with a AC power inverter. (guilty) ...you're at the field flying and there is a hawk flying around in the same airspace, and it begins to chase you around, so you give it full throttle and do a few circuits, but the hawk is still hot on your tail, so you begin to snap the airplane around and dogfight the hawk. You feel on the offensive, but find out your timer on your radio came on, indicating you should land, and you do. (The hawk was uninjured). Never seen it happen, but I heard of it happening. ...while bashing around at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, you find you quickly get stuck with your 2WD truck, so you have to get it pulled out... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/9744ec8c.jpg ...by your 4WD RC...and you're glad that you went for the upgrade and installed tow hooks on the front of both your RCs, as well as one rear tow hook. ...you get the 1:1 stuck, and think this will work (not really). Okay, and the 1:1 isn't really stuck either. :eek: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/34e7d38d.jpg |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
Brake that's a funny thread. Rather than start a new one, I should have revived it.
We can all use a laugh now and then.......especially after a crash party. |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
You know you're hooked when........ you wax your airplane but not your car. :D

RE: You know you're hooked when....
While you where in a coma due to being hit in the head by an RC aircraft the Doctor took note of limited brain activity but a strange seemingly coordinated movement of your thumbs.

RE: You know you're hooked when....
Oh Man ! I`m guilty again. I got to quit reading this thread or I`m going to need couch time. {No doctor, I`ll be just fine, just one more airplane should do it, then I`m good , no more. } And they call me Insane, lol.

RE: You know you're hooked when....
You know you're hooked when........ you friend suggests that he may be buying a station wagon so that he can fit more planes in it and you think that it is such a good idea that you start looking at prices yourself
You know you're hooked when........ while putting together a plane, the only real thought that is on your mind is what you will be doing better on your next model |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
I'm fairly new to this site, and getting back into the hobby after some 25 years. How did you get into my mind so fast?

RE: You know you're hooked when....
The LHS has a reserved parking space with your name on it.
The LHS extended you a revolving credit account to cut down on paperwork. You have a set of keys to close up the LHS at the end of the day. The LHS keeps a cott in the back for you. The balsa farmers ask you if it's time to harvest. You have to rent a U-haul to haul your planes around to the field. The local airport asks you if the runway is clear to land. Local contractors have to go through you to purchase insulation foam. Lumas has to cancel orders because you bought up all of the carbon fiber stock. You learn to speak Chinese to tell their workers to work faster. You lost track of the number of planes you currently have on hand. Your cell phone has a flight simulator. You carry pictures of your planes in your wallet. You buy stuff you don't want just so you can use the packing insulation on a future project. Your boss pays you in ARF's. The x sues you for custody of the kits. I can think of more, it just goes on and on, I'm totally hooked. :) |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
Heh, heh...
That's pretty good. |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
You were promised sex but went to the workshop to glue another former.

RE: You know you're hooked when....
*I do have a flying buddy who took his favorite plane with him to the dealership when he bought a new car, and was only interested in looking at the ones it fit into well. He was looking to save gas, so he bought about the smallest vehicle his plane would go into.
*I am moving in about a month, and I looked for flying fields before I looked at apartments. |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
Done that. Have photos and video of scobee field, Houston Texas on the local rc club webpage. Not to mention bringing back the Hobbico Building Board on the flight home. Put it in cargo. Thankfully Hobbico packaged it well. Not a scratch. Have to talk to Juno R/C about that F-18 kit before I go to Houston next time.
ORIGINAL: jmurphy18 Yes it's bad when you are new to the hobby and even the wife know you are hooked. You go on a business trip and find a way to visit the local shops and field. LOL been doing this one |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
A few mortgage payments later, you're right. Just got a new Chevy Tahoe, looking to trade it for a panel truck.
