  • A few years ago I didn't have a clue about RC .... now...

    I started off with a Honey Bee King heli about 3 years ago with the intention of just having a bit of fun. I had no idea that the learning curve would be so steep and I had no intention of getting "hooked" - however......

    Now I have a whole load of flying things including Helis, planks, Quads, a scratch built Hex on the bench and even FPV stuff. Oh and I have started two RC companies which distribute things like the Simstick and shortly, Eagletree gear and the Ritewing Zephyr II wings, along with selected Hacker stuff. Also developing new stuff like sonar controlled retracts and wireless FPV ground station controls and a few other gizmos.

    Please don't let anyone tell you that this hobby is not addictive, because it is and yes I am hooked

    It's getting difficult to hide this from the other half now.

    Cheers,
    Simon

    I saw the heli filled piping bag and I just couldn't say no! On donuts, on cakes, piped on anything because I'm, snivel, a heli addict.

    Vikki. The cake is a lie.

        That costs twice as much. (assuming you get away with revealing the real costs in the first place)

              Addictive ? Nah ! I can give it up any time I want too. Well maybe tomorrow, still got some lipos ready to go. But I can give up anytime, really I can.
