Too much

Seriously too much If the weather is cooperating, I get out flying 6 times a week and spend at least 3 hours each time. My fiancee is my coach and is out there as often as I am telling me what I do wrong (I think she likes it!). I used up between 50-60 gallons of fuel in 4 months this summer Plus I usually hit 5-6 contests a year, some of them like the Worlds or Nats being a week or two week long excursions to far off lands so it ends up eating into serious vacation time....I am pretty lucky she is so understanding

I dont even want to know how much time I spend on RC outside of the flying field, but its a lot

A little birdy told me that there will likely be a proposal from Ottawa, and at the moment I suspect there will be between 7-10 fliers trying out With 4 of them being from the west

I would have to fly Basic, its waaay harder than the FAI pattern sequence I dont know if I could handle anything above that
