  • Need advice ;)

    well i need to get some advice because i have now been band from talking about heli's to my mum and dad so thought i would ask an 'unbias' l;ot of guys :cheers2:

    so the question:
    i have a few hobbies and need to drop one or more :ack2: as i cant keep up them all now i have a car because i dont have enough money :piggy:
    i currently do:
    archery
    rc heli's
    fish keeping
    cycling
    question is which 1/2 do i drop :boxing_smiley:

    reasons for keeping each
    archery - mum and dad helped buy equipment and i enjoy
    heli's - i really enjoy and would love to get better lol
    fish keeping - one of my favorite pass times and am now thinking about getting a marine tank :D
    cycling - cost a lot to buy items i have atm eg indoor trainer

    if you could answer the poll to say which 1 i should 'let go' it would be most appreciated

    thanks
    :cheers2:

      1. Shooting arrows Hmmm, bin that one sell the equipment and use the money for more heli related stuff.

      2. Heli's great hobby.

      3. Fishkeeping, well now you have a/more tanks set up there is no more real cost, forget salties, it's a lot of hard work and money and really not worth it!

      4. cycling, now you have a car, sell the bike and use the money as in 1.

        Even better, sell the car; then you'll have plenty of money for other hobbies. You can transport a 450 easily by bike, and larger helis with a trailer :)

            Keep all the hobbies but let dad have a go with a MCX or similar, he may get hooked also ,then you would have a strong ally. If that fails tell them you are considering putting yourself up for adoption, it may work but whatever you do...............

                    As you appear to have archery equipment, other than replacing broken arrows etc you have already paid out on the main costs. Similarly for the cycling, the fish sound like a on going cost - I have a mate with a 3m marine tank and its increadibly expensive and very tricky to get right and keep right...
                    The other issue is that heli crashing can get expensive...
                    I would lose the fish but then they are not my cup of tea. I use to have a long bow at school and was in the team and really enjoyed this but then got into small bore rifle which replaced it.
