RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
It's nice to know that I'm not alone here.
Steve,
Before I proposed to my wife, I told her "Honey, before we take this relationship any further, I need you to understand that aviation is my first love. That, I will always be surrounded by aircraft. If you can accept that, then I want to marry you." At the time, she was really into classic and exotic cars and even enjoyed flying full scale with me. Over time, that changed. Now, her only interest is HER!
For all you fellow R/Cers that haven't married yet, you need to have the backbone to make sure the future missus has no illusions or let them walk! If you don't, then you are in for some misery of your own creation. For all the rest, I really feel your pain. Been there, done that, never again.

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
Doug, Many years ago I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas? She said a divorce, I told her I was not planning on spending that much! But for me life started for the best! I raised my kids by myself and put them first! now i live alone and have a shop inside my house that I can work anytime on a plane! I do have a girlfriend and she has said stupid things like you think more of your planes then me or you never have time for me! and i do spend allot of time with her! just never enough in her opinion! I told her when her curves are as pretty as the P-51 Mustang she will get more attention! But when she gets mad at me I am very happy in my dog house! I depend on me and since I am alone I am right sometimes where before never! Being single has been right for me and my fifty plus airplanes, six helicopters, two gliders, couple RC cars and my dog Ozone! I for one do not wish to remarry, I am not one that wants to hear you spent how much on what! And I am doing just fine! Happily unmarried! Bob
For those of you who are married, Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness then for permission!

Wives ought to realize that R/C is a perfect hobby for husbands...First, there's generally no women at the field (no flames, I'm just referring to the places I fly). Second, there's NO alcohol allowed. And third, when it gets dark, its time to go home.
But hey, that's just me... lol

As for me my wife also flies, has more planes than I do, and we've been married 30 years. There is no her place / his place part in our lives at all. There have been very few things we have not enjoyed together in all these years.

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
I have my shop seperate from the house, my wife calls it my man cave. It has a tv, dvd player, small fridge always full of beer which my wife supplys. After 30 years of following me around the world, she knows where I'm at while shes working , she works every other weekend and I spend the time she has off with her. You have to make it a give and take. She is'nt really crazy about my planes , but I'm not really cazy about her flowers.

I'm so used to being taken care of . . .

I pay someone to clean the house and do the laundry.
I'm not much of a cook, so I eat out every day. My favorite restaurant has pretty waitresses who pretend to like me. They gave me a cake on my birthday.
The "other things" I usually just do without.

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
my wife has always supported my love of rc. she is a heavy duty quilter and I never tell her not to make or buy something.when she wants to stop at a quilt shop whenever we are travelling I never argue or complain and when its a hobby shop she's the first to ask if I want to stop and snoop.I suspect if the money spent was excessive as I see with some guys then she might get upset but I budget for the hobby.one of my good friends has a backup plane for everyplane he buys etc.my wife says when you cash one just buy or build a new one but not 2 of them.I have more planes than I realize at times but she supports my passion for the hobby and even comes and will watch when we have a funfly though I know shes totally bored lol.

I may have made a big mistake here, I hope I am not tossed out of the He man Woman haters club for this, but I had my wife read my original post and the next 30, I heard her laugh a few times, not sure if it was with us or at us. Now she wants to post here, GULP!

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
Been married for 21 years - second marriage for each of us. We came to a simple agreement when my wife started working. We drew up a budget and gave ourselves an allowance. Three checking accounts - hers, mine, and ours. She buys her stuff with hers, I buy my stuff with mine, and we don't care what the other spends on what. The "ours" account covers all the common stuff, and if we're buying anything big from the "ours" we talk it over.
When we built our dream house eight years ago, we built a 540 sq ft attached shop. Took me six years to outgrow it - about the same time she outgrew the house. We decided to convert the existing shop to a home office/exercise room and move the pantry in as well. She went from a 4x5' pantry to a 6x14' one (BIG points there, fellas!) and freed up two bedrooms of the house - one is now her sewing/crafts room and the other is a spare for grandkids or guests. To accommodate this remodel, I put up a 30x44' steel building at the back of our property. This was a win-win solution, which is what you have to strive for in a marriage.
Life is what you make it. My wife and I have common interests and individual ones. She tried RC, but didn't get passionate about it. She is happy that I enjoy it. I design/build/fix stuff for her. We both ride Harleys (HER idea!!!) and get a good long road trip in about every other summer. We spend quality time together, but not every minute of every day. It's all about balance - some weekends she needs 100% of my time and help, some I need hers!

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
This is Mrs Tenacious,
I have truely enjoyed reading from the "He Man Land-World". Yes, I have come to a conclusion you all have alot in common. It all sounds similar, he and she compriomises, and as long as us women know you are not in a bar, we are pleased. What a sacrifice! This is will worth having as many hobbies as you want. I enjoy my husband with his hobbies. He can eye a piece of balsa wood or an RC plane instead of another woman all day, and that makes me happy. At times it can be excessive, and he has a look, like the deer looking and head-lights, having to say, "what? I have to stop working"!
Just remember, take her out once a month!

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
After reading what she wrote, I can only assume she wants to go to the flying field or the hobby shop at least once a month. Hmmm, maybe I misunderstood?

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
my "wife" A.K.A. girlfriend of 2yrs gets very irritable about my passion for flying, but only when i randomly head off to the field and forget to being her along, she likes nothing better than to sit on the tailgate of the truck and watch me terrorize the skies. i cant ask for too much more, sometime soon she will be learning to fly too. life is good on my side of the fence. a girl that wont let you have fun in whatever safe manner you choose is looking for someone else in the first place.

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
well guys, i was married to a lady (and i use that term loosely lol) she grew up around aircraft (full scale) i figured things would be fine as she was used to it, was i wrong!! had to sneek kits into the basement when she was gone or asleep. and keep in mind she knew i had this hobby before we got married. finally after 12 years got fed up with it and let her go on down the road. and i dont miss her a bit. my current girlfriend had lived with me for almost 5 years now and soon to be married. (see i let her get used to it and watched how she reacted to this hobby) well this one supports it totally, she goes to the field, to the aircraft museums, (she even suggested after visiting fantasy of flight we get a yearly pass) i am going to keep this one! at least until she keeps me from my hobby!!!

My wife doesnt always approve of my hobby/addiction, but she understands that I will not give it up. I have already given up my Harley and drive the hand me down vechicles while she gets the new one. Lets just say she tolerates it. The only thing I can say to someone getting married is to be sure your new wife shares the same interests as you do, otherwise there can be trouble down the road. If I were to get divorced, the next woman(which I seriously doubt I would get married again) would either support me in what I like to do or she can keep on keeping on. To be fair I try very hard to support my wifes hobby.

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
I'm a newly-wed.. The missus and myself got married on May 5th of this year after dating for about 18 months. I told her from day 1, that i loved my hobby and i had been doing it for 16+ years, and that i was not going to give up something i loved as much as this for a "woman". I told her that she could accept that or turn around out the door. She decided to stick around and 18 months later we got married. While she doesn't exacly enjoy the fact that I am in "my room" when she is doing homework or whatever (she's 22, im 25). She enjoys the peace and quiet while i'm doing my thing, and she can do whatever she wants. I also pay all of our living expenses, while all she has to do is worry about her car insurance, car payment, gas and going to school. That way, she has her paycheck to pay the expenses she came into our relationship/marriage with, and i have mine to pay my expenses, rent etc. and whatever i have left over after that, i can do with as i please. Although it does help when i take her out to dinner, movie or whatever on occassions

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
CLOUDDANCER: Sounds like a keeper.
The way I see it...
my future wife doesnt need to like my planes...thats why they're mine - not her's. If im not doing anything disrespectful towards her....she can do the same.
My future wife doesnt need to like my need for playing sports...It allows me a safe/fun way to relieve stress & have fun... and physique she probably wont be complaining about
my future wife doesnt need to understand why Im the type to focus on the details... likes to figure out how things work or improve them... Im an analyst
All my future wife needs to understand is respect, friendship and communication. A relationship is a two way street. Its like a bank...you get out what you put in. Im not willing to be your B#$%ch, and dont expect you to be mine. Understanding of the other's interests builds respect, friendship and love. The nagging in no way helps.
My last girlfriend nagged me about my planes and how "it was a waste of money and childish" - no support for what I enjoyed at all. So I moved my planes out - and I went with them.
I think i just realized why im still single!

My future wife doesnt need to like my need for playing sports...It allows me a safe/fun way to relieve stress & have fun... and physique she probably wont be complaining about
my future wife doesnt need to understand why Im the type to focus on the details... likes to figure out how things work or improve them... Im an analyst
All my future wife needs to understand is respect, friendship and communication. A relationship is a two way street. Its like a bank...you get out what you put in. Im not willing to be your B#$%ch, and dont expect you to be mine. Understanding of the other's interests builds respect, friendship and love. The nagging in no way helps.
My last girlfriend nagged me about my planes and how "it was a waste of money and childish" - no support for what I enjoyed at all. So I moved my planes out - and I went with them.
I think i just realized why im still single!

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
I always tell my wife my plans of going flying for the weekend. Then when it gets to be 7 am Saturday morning, she asks "why are you still here, I thought you were going flying?"
My reply "I will go flying right after breakfast"
I gotta say, she can whip up eggs, toast, hash browns, and sausage faster than McDonalds!!

RE: How does your wife deal with your RC airplane hobby?
In case anyone is interested, after her post, I felt my wife did a good job. I was actually scared of what she might write. She has been very understanding with all I have done. If you would like to see the many things I put her thru, here is a link to pictures of many of the aviation projects that I have been involved in, from 20 years as an F-16 Aircraft Weapons System Tech and Instructor, to being president of a military aviation museum to tromping thru the everglades and other places chasing aircraft for salvage. I realize even more how special she is.
