Pretty cool helo's. Like you I believe a person should be well rounded, so my hobbies are silhouette shooting, trap, sporting clays, general target shooting, hunting, paintball and shooting my bow. Coaching youth sports, I coached both of my sons teams, football, basketball and baseball from 1st grade thru 8th grade and dirt bike riding.

Nice looking scale helis! I had a Jetranger and a Longranger (both Funky bodies with Nexus 30 mechanics). Now I have an old gen1 Raptor 30.....I use it to keep the roofs and driveways clean.

Thanks, you should try it sometime. It is a lot of fun. Best thing to learn on is a fixed pitch electric like an Esky Honey Bee.


Slabsides, I figured there was someone else on here that flew helis. The Bell47 is a Century kit. The Jet Ranger is a Century (Funkey) fuselage with Century mechanics. The Bell 222UT is a Century (Funkey) Airwolf fuselage with Esky Esmart mechanics. All are electric or converted to electric.

I have way too much respect for machines like that to risk my clumsy hands with. kind of like music, the world is better off if I stay on the side lines

pretty darn cool nonetheless.

I've been into RC airplanes for about 20 years. Here's some pictures of the airplanes I've had over the years.

Also into RC cars.

Fun stuff there. My son and I had an RC trainer for awhile but then he started flying the real ones and lost interest.

I spend some time working on cars for those that can't afford it but I have the most fun helping my baby girl do her thing.

Around Christmas time my wife and I were introduced to Geocaching so now we spend some time using multi-million dollar GPS technology to find tupperware. It gets us out on some great hikes and to see new places that we never heard of before.

There are other hobbies than Shooting and Reloading?

Man I am going to have to check them out.

This is what I am working on right now. It is going to be my Home Theater PC when it id done.

AMD A8 3.2GHz CPU 600w PSU 16gb RAM 15.5tb HDD. Yes I said 15.5 Terrabyts as in 5 3 tb HDD and one 500 gb HDD for the OS. In a Silverstone LC-17 case.

I am going to hook it up to a Onkyo TX-NR709 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_580TXN7...09.html?tp=179

I am going to add an Infinity PS212 Subwoofer http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108PS21...le.html?tp=187

And an Infinity PC350 Center Channel speaker. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108PC35...l?tp=189&avf=N

Some surround speakers (Not sure which ones yet)

and a Samsung UN60ES8000 TV http://www.crutchfield.com/p_30560E8....html?tp=35945

I am going to up my internet from DSL to either Fios or Comcast 105mbps option.

When I get a basement then the real work begins and I will build a full on home theater complete with high end plush theater seating and a 1080P Projector and a 300" screen. SCREW the THEATERS. That will have 7.1 surround sound and Lots and LOTS of watts pushing LOTS and LOTS of speakers.

Holy smokin' HD, 15.5 TB? Did you buy that from NASA?

My hobbies a bit more mundane:

Old and new guns, just got my 2012 Gun Digest book of guns & prices all 1318 pages.
SPORTS Junkie, primarily NCAA & Pro football, MLB, some hockey.
A Cigar Aficionado for years now.
Lottery, as a controled hobby, not a passion.
TCM movies, yeah I like the oldies.
Used to be big in bikes and cars, now just a spectator.

Oh yeah, and cooking...among other things.

Even a father with kids should have a hobby of his own.

Na just 5 3tb HDD and a 500gb

The 3tb drives will hold all my media from DVD, Blu-ray, and Audio.

the 500gb drive will house ONLY the OS. Why such a big drive? Because I got it for FREE.

I also Coach youth Soccer. This is my 3rd season now.

2,236 posts is lurking? what does a real poster look like? besides Jack.

Anyway, to answer the question, computer games, genealogy, camping, fishing (trout, they are so dumb I can catch em), and archery. That and working on the house. Homebrewing and gardening I had to give up for lack of time.

I am finishing up my mother's application for the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was tickled pink to know she had three direct ancestors in the war. I had one on my fathers side, with many cousins and uncles several times removed in it. Including a signer of the Declaration that was a 1st cousin 7 times removed.
