Giant Scale RC Why do this? Seriously??

[SleepyC]

So the money, the time, the travel, the explanations to laymen, so WHY DO THIS?

AND GO...

Because the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!

I asked myself the samething 2 years ago , stopped flying as much and went to full scale . Now I am more broke and still asking the same question.

One word, Passion!

 

[Jetpainter]

Addiction.

 

[acerc]

Passion and addiction sums it up for me.

 

[HRRC Flyer]

Addiction.

AMEN TO THAT ! ! ! ! !

Because bigger is always better! Everybody knows that. As Donnie Baker would say, "It's State law"!

For me it is therapy and a release from the stress of work. I have 2 planes, 35% Extra 330SC that I got dirt cheap and had electronics and engine from another plane I got dirt cheap. The second is a 42% Edge 540. The airframe was bought new after a mishap with an airframe that I got for a song that was basically ready to fly. I got lucky and the engine and electronics were all ok, but the airframe was a total loss.

Life has changed around my house, so if anything happens to either one of the planes, it could be a while before I replaced it, but I would replace it eventually. It is just to much fun and a whole lot cheaper than partying and other hobbies I have had

We all need something in our lives to help us to feel complete. For me, it was my son and my two little girls. They are now raised and leading really great and successful lives of their own. Now, without my total first love, (flying) I know I would be completely lost. Having something to believe in and to push me harder to succeed at has helped maintain that balance now the kids are grown. Passion, addiction, obsession or just plain consumed...any way you stack it, I think (we) do this for the love of it all.
