I was into RC planes when I was a kid but stopped doing it because I couldn't get to the field. I had another dabble in my mid twenties when I found my old stuff when I moved into my own house, that lasted about 2 months with just two visits to the field because nobody would buddy me while I flew. Then 2 years ago last Xmas a friend walked into the shop offering up a cheap syma 3 channel heli that he was having 'problems' with. I just spooled up and then flew around the shop, he hated me. I then goggled RC helicopters and found this youtube...met a few local flyers and now it's in the blood

Flying rc got me to join the air force though

Flying the helicopters in GTA San Andreas got me into it. I thought they were easy and rc stuff would be the same. Oh how wrong I was.....

To quote a famous line... "I chose to fly helis, not because it is easy, but because it is hard"

i like a challenge ;-) I also like cool expensive things lol
