Other hobbie than Diesel

[Tintin]

Hi all, out of curiosity, is there anyone out there that fly RC helicopter, I'm curious?

[8v-of-fury]

If this is spoken about ANYMORE I WILL BAN YOU.

HAHAA KIDDING

I like to ATV.

[theman53]

Over the years I have: airbrushed, snowboard, fish, shoot target, gardening, shoot bow, play accoustic guitar, taxidermy, play bass guitar, ultimate frisbee, off road 4x4, ATV racing/riding, home butchering/smoking, golf, car audio, and most importantly I bow hunt deer still.

All other hobbies I was into would not be appropriate for the forum

Definitely love the RC stuff.  I've always had the cars, trucks and boats.  Got into the planes about 8 years ago now.  My first plane I built was a J3 cub from great planes that also got a set of floats.  Turns out that building rc planes is quite time consuming.  Always wanted a plane as a kid but really it's a good thing I never got one.  I doubt I would've finished it or had success flying it. 

I scratch built a few park flyers but my favorite is my seamaster.  Never really got into the helis but always wanted to.  Took me over a year to master flying a heli on the flight sim.  I'd still love to get an electric helicopter but not really sure what I should get.  I've had a few of the toy indoor ones and I'd love to move up a little without spending too much.  Tintin, any thoughts on what I should get for a couple hundred?

Try one of these... 61cm long. Forty bucks, outdoor (true radio, not IR) flight. I'm putzing around with one now, it's a nice next step from the indoor mini copters. It's identical, actually, just scaled up. Carries my GoPro camera without problems, handles mild wind gusts OK.

There are even larger versions, all the Marshalls & TJMaxx stores had them for Christmas, around $175.

Héhéhé.. don't buy this, this is a toy 

Have a couple of expensive rc helico since two years that I really enjoy now, no more time to post on this forum as I'm all over heli forum, and I was just wondered if I'm alone from this forum playing with those thing.

Yeah, I'm ready for something more advanced than that.  Is there anything you can recommend Tintin that's RTF around the 200-300 mark?  It would be nice to have one or two extra battery packs to reduce down time.

Well I forgot one, I used to powerlift

[wolf_walker]

Guns.  Lots of guns.

Until I moved to California. 

Now I have two dogs and do a lot of hiking with the wife and them.

I also do a lot of computer crap, some of it professionally.

I read a lot in spells. 

And smoke and drink lots of coffee.


I'm pretty boring unless you like car stuff.  A lot.

I spent the last five years selling Porsche parts which isn't nearly
as cool as it sounds.  But I did take apart a Carrera GT.

[Enslaved_Pickle]

I've raced indoor and outdoor rc cars competitively for the past 8 years
I've also tinkered with electronics since i was 7. I'm constantly fighting the urge to rewire my golf with mil-spec wiring lol

[shorttimer]

3,000+ hrs thermal/x-country Hang Gliding, skiing, skating, road race (on track) motorcycles & formula V, mold making (and parts of course), metal polishing, auto/MC painting/resto, to name the big ones. Quite a few smaller ones, usually around hand skills. I like motorized bikes of a lot especially 2 strokes, which includes mopeds.

Oh, I almost forgot. Coffee roasting! You can't imagine how good home roasted coffee is.

Vintage bikes.... Lots and lots of vintage bikes. And Pinball. I've got a Pin*Bot machine at home over nursed back to health. My wife would totally be on board if I suggested a 2 day drive to Anywhere, USA  that had a pinball museum.

And beer. But that's more of a religion and less of a hobby.

I forgot I did get into bicycles when I moved to Santa Barbara.
Bought the wife an early 70's Peugeot and I ended up with some
camo painted abomination with an ammo can welded on the back.
Then I re-built a late 90's Trek 6K with new everything from the
crankset to the wheels, it's a pretty decent bike now.  Funny I can
translate the complete financial horror show that is my car interest into
bikes so easily.

Other then promoting our friend Rudolph Diesel, I rebuilt a few rigs quasi performance-wise - 72 Celica, 76 tr6, have a 79 vw camper van on my front yard (no performance with the van -  ) Also fixing my cheap ass daily driver rigs - more of a neccessity vs a hobby

Hot yoga, gardening - esp garlic and legal herbs, and metal work\sculptures. ( although the "sculptures" is a bit exaggerated). Animals, grew up on a hobby farm - my pic is my dog Karl with a K.

Finally,  trying to play bass guitar|melodica\music - grew up with punk, The Clash, Iggy, Bowie, but really I have NO musical skills. And like to question authority.

Hope this isn't too self- absorbed? Jack of some trades, master of none...

I've been messing around with the toy RC helis. I have an IR and a true radio setup that my wife got me for a late Christmas present.
