What do you do? LOL That sounds bad... What do you do for a living or are you a lucky retired guy?

[MENTION=2643]3DMIKE[/MENTION] My wife and I own an RV Park here in Grand Coulee. I do have time to fly in the mornings in the summer but the afternoons and evenings I am here taking care of customers and the park. I do enjoy being my own boss!! It does suck sometimes because most people get their free time and weekends and I have to stay here but Im not complaining. I get a chance to read a ton on the forums and learn because I am sitting in the office waiting for customers. I can fly my Crack Yaks here in the park, its a little tight but thats how we get better, obstacle avoidance! lol
Ok I see the red ones are in stock!! When I clicked I got the blue ones that are out of stock..... I should have looked harder!!
And yes this hobby has come a long way indeed My dad taught me how to build and fly line control airplanes back in the early 70's because RC was so expensive back then and they really wernt all that reliable. So I did my fair share of building and crashing those. Then went through school and went into the Airforce, got out and started a family then a buddy of mine was flying RC and I told him he HAD to teach me how to fly and it was all over at that point. Back then there were no computer radios, no expo, no end point adjustment (unless you had an expensive Futaba Gold box) and one model per transmitter. Boy did I have transmitters lol mainly the old Attack 4 AM wide band.... got shot down a lot by radio interference from whatever electrical noise was around. The runway I learned on was in western Washington, about 800 feet long and 100 feet wide and lined on each side with 120 foot fir trees. Had to learn how to keep your airplane where you wanted it!! Great learning tools those trees lol.
Sorry I am rambling now.... I still have a bunch of my older airplanes and from time to time I fly them just for the good memories and bad ones too lol.
