        My other hobby is music, played guitar for some 23 years used to gig quite a bit when I was younger but love not having the hassle of lugging gear around :)

              Computers... if you could class that as a hobby. I've been into computers for about 30 years and building my own computers for nearly as long.

              Electronics... I recently got into electronics because I was spending too much time and money on helis.. but I didn't think it through very well because if you think helicopters is an expensive and time consuming hobby.... you should try kitting yourself out for electronics!

              This was my latest project... Something from yesteryear.

                I fly planks a lot! Especially slope soarers when it's windy! I also try to get out on my mountain bike as and when I can (a 2007 KONA Dawg Primo)

                Apart from that I am trying to use up the world's supply of shell V-Power with this 300bhp, 165mph, 4wd estate car

                            I touched upon RC cars for a while, but found unless you was with at least 4 other people it was boring as hell!!

                            My second hobby would have to be music!

                            Playing guitar for about the same time I've been flying 3 years or so :)

                              I used to own a rc truggy but as idelup95 says above, it was boring as hell. Unless there are a few of you and you race then that's fair enough.

                              But my other main hobbies are Thai Boxing and natural bodybuilding, Jui Jitsu. I Thai boxed on a high competitive level and have trained with some of the Worlds champions who are now some of my good friends. I first got into martial arts at 9 years old and have always done some type of MA over the last 20+ years. I'm a big outdoors person from being an Ex Royal Marine, so I do a lot of rock climbing and bouldering also. But there's just not enough time in the day to try fit everything in. That's why RC Helis have taken a back seat over the past few years as I was competive fighting in Muay Thai over the past 4 years.
                              I also like to tinker with electrics and electronics as I'm a qualified electrician but this is not my main job.
