  2. You’ll drive an hour to the flying field, but not 5 minutes to pick up milk.
  3. Your idea of a good time on a Friday night is staying home and trying to get rid of a pesky vibration.
  4. You have more pics of your helicopter than your kids.
  5. You get a job at the LHS (local hobby store) for the employee discount.
  6. You spend $700 on new batteries but freak out when you’re overcharged $0.11 at the grocery store.
  7. You can balance your blades but not your checkbook.
  8. You move just for a house with a bigger yard.
  9. You put the cheapest gas possible in your $40k car, but you insist on at least 15% nitro for your heli.
  10. You walk into the LHS for a spare part and come out with a whole new helicopter.
  11. You go see ‘National Treasure – Book Of Secrets’ just for the helicopter scene.
  12. The sound of doorbell sends shivers down your spine (UPS? Fedex?)
  13. You have a whole room in your house dedicated to your RC heli.
  14. You have a stash of RC heli manuals to read in the bathroom.

    You sell your $50K sports car to purchase a vehicle with more cargo space so you can tote more heli’s to the field and back.
