I am tired why don't I sleep?
Yea it's god damn late, but as usual I can't make my brain shut the fuck up so me no sleepy. It's been pretty bad the past few days, which is weird because for a while I was doing a much better job of actually just laying down and going to sleep. Oh well.
So, after the initial idea a week or so ago and a good bit of online reading and whatnot, I'm still not sure if I really want to try to get into flying model airplanes.
The pros: it's something I been wanting to do since I was pretty young, there are some places around here that should work pretty well for flying, in the coming year I should be looking at a pretty steady income so I should be able to afford it if I decide I want to (and can) move up to non-beginner equipment.
The cons: it's expensive enough that I would be mad if it turned out to be a total failure, and apparently learning is a good bit harder than you would think. The real problem with the learning difficulty is that all the Beginner's Guides tell you to join a club and get an instructor. All of you can probably see the problem there; I'm not really the type that enjoys large groups of strangers, and a stranger that knows more than me is my least favorite kind of stranger. I'm also a little bit worried that I would just totally suck at it, or that it wouldn't be as cool as I've been building it up to be since I was twelve.
So yea. I guess a little feedback on that would be appreciated.

Helicopters. ;)
That was me.
Yea I figured, since you'd be pushing for the UFO hoax. I'm told by a friend of Mike's who flies planes that helicopters are much harder for him. So I'm not sure. We'll see.
Yeah, remate controlling things come naturally to some people and not others (like robots).
I tend to be pretty good at it, but some people just don't get it. I wouldn't reccomend buying something expensive then finding out that you have a hard time with it.
