Default Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots

Well.......I got into the airplanes only about 8 months ago , and progressed up to building myself a 33% yak for this next summer. I originally got into this hobby/sport because i was really needing something else to do besides racing MX bikes. I have been racing them on and off for almost 30 years , and it has taken it's toll on me for sure.


Another reason i got into this hobby was because i thought it was going to be cheaper....HAHA!! WRONG! Actually i can't say that , because if you add up close to about $500,000.00 in medical bills from the MX thing , i guess this hobby is cheaper.....but not by much.


Well.....I'm only 8 months into this hobby , i'm knee deep into about 6 different airplanes , and now i'm veering into the heli's as well. In fact , i have my eye on a Hirobo EVO 50 right now , which hopefully if i can afford to fly both this summer , i will.


Man i love this hobby , and i love this site!


Also.....just to let you guys know , the reason i think i'm staying in this hobby is mainly because there are so many cool dudes that love to just have fun.......that's what it's all about right? In the MX thing , everything is so competitive. It's hard to have any real close freinds in that sport , ecspeacially if they are in your class.......sooner or later your going to get into some kind of contact with them on the track.......and then freindships start going down hill from there.


YES!....i want to fly heli's to......or anything else that has a motor and can get off the ground...HA!
