Its my #1 Passion

Session 5, I get it now we have our sports a notch beyond hobby Your into building RC's I build guitar amps. I was somewhat puzzled when you
said you would never pay $350.00 for an Echo unit.
 
I have to tell you Sysco , there is nothing more exhilarating to me, than firing up one of my engines ,and taking a bird for a flight. I really enjoy ringing it out doing aerobatics. Its one thing to watch, but its another to take the controls and just give it!!
 
S5, My whole life is filled with memories, obviously. But, it is also obvious we generally remember a fraction of the things we experience.
Call me crazy, but ever since I was about 11 years old, one of my most vivid memories is of fishing trips my dad's friend Ralph would take me on to our local reservoir. He'd sometimes take us shoreline fishing, and others would be out in a rowboat/electric motor fishing boat that the reservoir would rent to people.
Where I am going with this is, some guy like you used to fly his remote control airplanes over the water for what seemed like hours. I often thought those planes were the coolest thing ever. Now I know you, and of course you can relate.

So the question beckons... Would you trade in your Godins for more RC Porn?
 
I wanted to show this video just to give you an idea of how fast, and how dangerous they could be if not flown properly and safely. These aircraft fly up to 300 MPH. There is a law in U.S cant exceed the speed I think its top speed of 200MPH. This guy who is flying this bird and although he is a good Pilot is completely flying dangerously. If he was here in Canada, he would be permanently banned from flying. At those speeds and flying towards himself he is endangering himself and others. Anything could go wrong at any time. If I was at a meet and this guy made moves like he is doing I would get in my vehicle and get the heck out of there as fast as I could. These Aircraft must be respected there have been people killed and injured seriously, and trust me when I say this I have witnessed first hand what they can do. I have a deep respect for these models they are toys but they are big boy's toys. We have strict regulations with Transport Canada. I only fly at sanctioned flying fields. I am proud of the safety regulations that are setup by Maac. Model Aerobatics Association of Canada. Whats a good day of flying, when you and your plane comes home in one piece.

Thanks for sharing bro! I wish I could do 11 years old over again! I haven't fished in years! In the future I need to post some footage of my friend flying his copters and planes. I have a great deal on my plate right now. I'll get to it in the future.
