I used to be involved with the RC hobby (Not a cheap hobby, either). I built my two Bixlers, my Super Cub and my Dynam PBY to keep my mind working. I got into DIY stuff and made everything from composters, pontoon boats, camera mounts, cameras, dog photos, diy self-watering planters, diy A/C units, diy kandles, rocket stoves, rocket heaters and so forth. Anything to keep my mind busy. However, after making the last four cigar box guitars, I essentially put everything into storage and allowed the dust to accumulate on all of it. I had lost my best human pals when they passed away, my dogs when they passed away, my Mother and sister when they passed and somehow I just lost all interest in much of any of it. Presently, it all wastes away in a storage barn, even my sidecar rig.
That Dynam was as big as my sidecar rig and yet, I never even flew the thing when completed. Never finished out the cigar box guitars, either. The dog in the photo with the Super Cub was my pal, my buddy, my friend and my confidant. When he, Murph, passed away about two years back, I sort of lost interest in all hobbies for a bit and everything went into moth balls in the storage barn.
My new dog, Sailer, has sparked me back to at least trying to keep focused enough to maybe finish a project or two in the future. Hopefully my Model A pickup won't join the other hobbies, as Sailor keeps me busy in doing things on it at present.
All these things were fun projects to be involved in. One never knows when the urge may strike again to bring one or two back out and piddle some more though.
