Collections !
Ya but, this sure beats what we used to do as kids, putting together model 144 scale Plastic Aircraft, having to buy Paint & Glue and wait for parts to dry.
Then Hand Fly them to no-where really, and they'd end up sitting on a Shelf collecting dust or get broken.
and we never ever ever ever never got to actually sit in the cockpit and fly or make switches work and lights come on' - or landing gear go up and down and have stewardess call etc.
Only ATC ya had if ya was lucky was a radio tuned to an ATC Channel, while you hand flyin around the living room. :-/
This sure beats all that and I'm NOT waiting for parts to dry and I never ever run out of Glue ! ::)
The cool thing, they always look good and never collect Dust ! 8-)
Aside from having a slightly expensive computer I'm happy !
I get to fly anywhere in the world anytime, anyplace, and I never have to buy FUEL !! or pay landing fee's ! ;)
in the winter time when its cold & snowy out I can stay inside for weeks, and Fly the Tropics, and pig out on my home made cookin !
I've done 16 to 18 hour flights before when it was to Cold to be outside, throw logs on the fireplace, kick on the Blower and I'm warm as Toast, when its 10* degrees out.
Model Planes , what were we thinkin ???? ;D
