Putting RC on hold for a more "rewarding" project

[J57ltr]

Wow I didn't hear about that.

I feel so much safer in a small aircraft than I do in an airliner. I fly all the time now (actually supposed to go to Tampa in the morn but lost my wallet). What makes matters worse is that the last 3 years in a row I miss getting Elite by about 2 points, and last year I actually went over by 6 points but they wouldn't count them because they were over 6 months old(didn't notice my 1 pass number didn't get entered). A few weeks ago I went to IAH my home airport and they are trying out the new mm wave machine (think X-ray, but it only penetrates clothes.) I refused to go through. They may have "dumbed it down", but still, they push and push next thing I know I'm going to be singing "Moon River". I love he small planes but hate the cattle cars. If someone told me you have to fly and crash a plane I would pick the small one anyday.

Now the Media has started targeting small airports saying that "you can just walk in and steal a plane and do who knows what with it". Now my private waterway/drainage ditch fishing hole is closed up at Hooks. I gotta get my dad to let me in now then radio up to the tower and ask if it's alright to cross when i used to just be able to get to the side of the airport I wanted to and fish without crossing the runway.

Anyway sorry for the Jack
