Nothing like new toys! I have almost given up on RC. If you fly FPV quads, and thermal gliders there's a guarantee you will repair something almost every time you fly. My home shop has been reducing in size over the years as my basement converts into a storage facility for the rest of the family. It is cumbersome for me to do RC building or repairs these days, and I find that I don't miss it much.
There are a number of trails near me and I like to hike; though, this time of year the bugs are tough. The trail bikers are all over them. The modern bikes look well worth it!
I just put a new prop on my 60" Extreme Flight Laser. Between the spinner and the prop there are 6 screws and 4 bolts, so it took me 2 an hour and a half to drill holes in the new prop, balance it, and install it.
I bought a simulator recently and it's really helpful for learning new tricks. All of the old farts at the club feel like they're getting a free airshow when I fly!
Yeah, the simulators are terrific. I have several and I generally put some time in before I fly. For FPV, they are essential.
