Few pursuits in life
have demands upon the hobbist as scale
R/C.
The practitioner must be part; artist, aeronautical engineer, electronic engineer, carpenter,
seamstress, mechanic, sculptor, physicist, etc...., and thats just putting one together! With the construction times in the high hundreds to thousands of hours,
PATIENCE IS TRULY A VIRTUE!
After your aircraft is completed, nothing helps more than a steady hand and steel nerves as you power your
multi thousand dollar missile down a grass strip and claw for the heavens on the maiden flight!
Knees and
nerves are turned to jello as you fiddle with the trims and set "HER" up to fly. It's a skydiver/mountain
climber/ shark tamer's adrenlin rush all rolled into one!
On the other hand nothing beats that final low
power glide into the field,wheels softly touching the turf, and rolling out to a stop! Talk about the most fun You can have with your clothes on!
" Well I guess that today I wont need that BROOM after all" !
