CRAZY

[Jim_Woodward at beaerospace.com]

As a reality check, I sometimes compare pattern flying to off-road 
motorcycle racing, a sport that was readily availble to me considering the 
desert I grew up in.  I've though that considering the simplest form of 
racing (ATV or even jetski), I couldn't break the competitve surface of 
those sports with the dollars I spend on pattern stuff. 

Now - I saw a gentleman the other day that might get close.  This guy has 
an AWESOME trailor and setup, etc.  However, you would need that stuff for 
ATV racing anyway. 

In this sense, pattern for the competitive guy, is a fairly inexpense for 
of getting the competition bug going.

Think the oil cans are high? Try a Gas Pump or other service station 
equipment from that era. AND then IF that’s not crazy want to look at some 
CARS?
 Thank your lucky stars we do play with Model Airplanes.! 
  But then we could include WOMEN!—Naw let’s not go there.

Dwayne,
Sure we are!!!! You don't think spending thousands of dollars on pieces of 
balsa wood that sometimes get totally destroyed because of a slight error 
on our part (or a radio "glitch") is crazy? Well, I don't either but some 
people probably do. At least we're learning something. Some of that 
collecting obsession is a little extreme (who would have thought an oil 
can was worth that kind of money?). Wait a minute, my Father has a 
basement full of Lionel trains - he actually plays with them though ("runs 
them") so I guess he's not crazy either. Things that make you go hmmm...
