RC planes mostly sailplanes. If you do RC and guns why would you exclude 3D printing? So many useful things.

Not sure i would exclude anything, Ya never know. Woodworking is tuff because of the space required for decent equipment. So little time and so much to do!

The same could be said for combining having a pilot's license and trout fishing ;) It's just money that myself and others do not have or choose to use elsewhere (mortgage).

My current nicknames do not include:
'Bezos'
'Elon'
or
'ZuckerGuy'

i bounce around .. my limits are really 'one' .. i build computers, fly rc helicopters, race 10th scale rc, build hotrods and motors, into dirtbikes and motorcycles, shoot guns, reload ammo, garden and raise chickens, i like building and working construction projects around the home to .. i just like a good project and always have something going on .. in these times though im focused on my homestead operation, the pellet guns just fit nicely into it and have enough 'mechanical' to them to keep me into it .. for now .. right now im wanting a lathe/mill machine to make stuff, work on barrels etc ..thats where its headed next .. 'not' a million dollar flashy air rifle .. ultimately im not about impressing people anymore .. i need an outlet to run my mouth ans talk about things lol, why i come here, not too many people into things like i am .. just fruitcakes trying to outdo each other with all the same sht .. more or less .. ..

Because I am already short on room, with the building of the composite gliders, my reloading for my powder guns ...... :D



Cool to see so many RC guys! In my area espically with the gliders I am one of the only ones in my area. Though when most look at the prices of the Maxa and Snipe, and others... they quickly walk away!

With the costs of airguns and R/C equipment how could you afford anything else? Yea, I know, thats why I also have a boat and a motorhome and a side by side. Now if I can just get the wifes health back so we could use our toys!!

I hope your wife gets her health back TODAY!!!

My wife is my best friend and cannot imagine fishing and travelling without her, pointless.

All of these material things mean nothing without our partners being healthy.

How about a 54" long 51cc 18,000 rpm TWIN Gas outrigger hydroplane .... Last clocked @ 82 mph !!

How about a 45" long 25.4 cc 18,000 rpm Gas SPORT hydroplane .... Racing trim @ 68-70 mph !!



Both along with many more over 20 years in the R/C racing game are made from wood and epoxy. Twin 100% my own design and manufacture, Sport from a kit.

MOTORHEADS R/C RACING ENGINES powered. Yup that name came from somewhere else.



I Still own these, tho not raced them in a few years now. Politics, lack of water access had me set aside this awesome hobby and get back into air guns.



LIMITS ? ..... None at the time being over 2K on the twin and about 1.2K + on the sport. This W/O labor being I built them and did my own engine work.

Wow, those rc's are something else! I've never seen anything like that. 80mph on water is seriously impressive! 



As for my hobbies, I'm a bit confined at the moment. A lot of things are currently limited due to necessity to save money. The market to buy property will be good at some point again, and I don't want to miss it.

So, I still shoot some, but not much, I am not buying any more guns of any kind. Basically across all my currently active hobbies, I'm not really sinking any funds into any of them. So, I do bike (have an old carbon fiber framed bike I restored), I play drums, fish, tune/shoot/modify airguns, I also like modifying/tuning/building pc's. And 3d print/design. Throw a bit of woodworking in there as well. 

High performance auto and powder burners have been on hold for some time until further notice.
