You know you're hooked when....
......you get an email offering a rusty glider and automatically wonder if you can fix it.
So you call the number and are shocked to learn it's a porch swing. [X(] |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
Just what parts did you think had rusted?

RE: You know you're hooked when....
when...... You have the UPS driver make stops at the field. :D

RE: You know you're hooked when....
Hooked, When you look at a random piece of junk and wonder how can I use this for my project...
|
RE: You know you're hooked when....
......you haven't looked at your lawn in months, but have been picking dandelions by hand at the fly field.
......you wake up with cold sweats cause in your nightmare you just crashed your #1 plane. Del |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
you've a few planes ready to fly, building one, buying two or three more kits, buying bulsa and ply.. "just to stock up", and ordering control horns and bell-cranks without even knowing when, if, or what plane, you'll use them for.
That reminds me... Gotta look at getting some spare servos... |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
Yup. Done that far too often.

ORIGINAL: bruce88123 Just what parts did you think had rusted? Here's another one: You know you're both hooked if you got your wife a kit plane this Mother's Day. |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
I knew I was in trouble when I found myself thinking, "I need to build a rack to carry the planes in the car."
I only had two planes then, and that has doubled since the UPS truck stopped at my house the other night! Jay |
RE: You know you're hooked when....
.... if you've ever thought about flying your plane to the field because it won't fit in your car!

RE: You know you're hooked when....
... you start to purchase RC in the same manner your wife or girlfriend goes shopping for their stuff. :)

RE: You know you're hooked when....
Maybe a better way to say it..
..when you have more planes then your wife has shoes. |
RE: You know you're hooked when....

RE: You know you're hooked when....
