When you have weather.com's hour by hour web page as your default to get current wind conditions.

When two new Waco's are released within a month, and you can't decide WHICH one to get......so you order them both, along with engines, servos, and a new 2.4 GHz radio system.
Yes, I did.

IF : Your car turns toward the flying field even when your wife is driving.
The grass at the flying field looks better then your lawn. ENJOY !!! RED

The grass at our field always looks good in the 'wet', but it needs to be mowed very often [:'(]
otherwise it would be a 2 feet tall very soon. In the 'dry' it looks there actually is none.
If you crash one tyime of year it gets lost in the mud, other months its smashed (more than usual) [>:]

Your fuel bill is more then the gas bill for your car !

You can hear a model engine start up 2 miles away !
For some of you folks overseas, these are sort of jokes that rednecks put up with if you didn't know. ENJOY !!! RED

When you leave the home grass unmowed (again), load up the mower (and a plane of course, in the $2,500 cargo trailer that you only "need" for this and those giant planes you're "going" to build "someday"), claim that you will be right back to mow at home, go mow the Club field, make "just one flight" (right after the other), come home in the dark, mow the home grass with the mower lights on right next to the neighbors who are "enjoying" a "quite" Sunday evening on their deck.

You go to a candle factory and ask the owner to make you a batch of scented candles that smell like burnt castor [&:][&:][&:]

How about: When you call the LHS, the guy calls you "Mr" (He's older than me), and has your Debit Card Number, Experation Date and the Check Digt, and address memorized,,,,, and knows to hang up if my wife answers when he calls asking a question about my order

How about when you go on vacation and you have to rent a trailer to bring home the planes you bought cause you couldn't wait till you get home to fly and couldn't fit one in the car on the way down.

How about hiding new planes from the wife........I'm running out of hiding places. She's going to catch up with me someday, I just know it.
Flying is like breathing.........Everybody should do it.

IF: you will reward yourself after graduating Basic training, and Tech school by getting back into the hobby!!!!
the reason you are single is that the "lookers" think that these "toys" are for kids
While you are sitting behind your drum kit, playing Hell's Kitchen by Dream theater, you think of flying a Cap 232 (giant) over the German landscape... while you are in OKLAHOMA....
...lol
and I havent played that song in a month...

When the grass on your lawn is more like a hay field and you are packing up the planes to head to the field thinking "I'll mow tomorrow."

We have been married about 38yrs, I think? The other day the mailman came, a long box arrived with him and for the first in many times like it she commented, "Not another one!" and then smiled!

PArt of that happens to me. She says not another one and then scowls!! Close but no cigar. I had to laugh the other day i sold 3 of my planes and she asked what we were going to do with that money. I said it's already spent (GP super chip, Saito, servos etc.) I traded 3 little planes for one dandy big one. She just looked at me and shook her head. Our argument was that i had 9 planes hanging from the ceiling of the garage and she had only seen me fly 4 of them so i said i would pare the hangar down a little. I don't think that was what she had in mind LOL!!!!

I would have to agree to the smell. There is nothing like that smell. Sort of like an old friend. Hello friend how are you, let's go have some fun!
