Other hobby

Post by Stew »

Simple question.
If you had to choose another hobby to replace Aeromodelling, what would it be?

If I couldn't do aeromodelling it would just leave more time for my "other" hobby which is sailing, and if I couldn't do that......... anything but golf! :o

As I’m a class A radio amateur I’d have to say my other hobby is playing radio

Mechatronics
Ham-radio - W4TDK / SM6YXK
Building things
Fuel burning boating (mostly for my kids)
Outdoor life

...but all this is included in the old fashion modeler I think

Almost forgot before a professional career in aviation flying was a hobby and I built and flew this one in the early 80's, Colibri MB2 with a 1700 VW engine, I was 23-24 at the time and didn't new better

Returning to aeromodelling is the new one for me, mostly I cycle, ride my horse, and shoot target air rifles in competition.

I'm also a very lapsed class A radio amateur.

Ah yes..... I forgot to mention that I am also Radio Amateur (ME0PWJ) but my only rig is on the boat and it only gets used on long trips...... which means not very often these days. :roll:

Boat modelling, preferably scale and yachts or photography

But NOTHING could ever replace aeromodelling - model BUILDING and flying that is, not the current definition, as far as I am concerned one of the greatest cop outs in history was to change the name of the national body from SMAE to BMFA which I suspect was done mainly in pursuit of Sports Council recognition (and grants - that worked then!). And yes, I do have a couple of ARTFs, they are OK to chuck in the car for a flying outing and for re-booting the flying reflexes after the winter down season, but I don't feel any emotional attachment to t hem. It is comforting to be on this forum and know I am not QUITE the last of the dinosaurs!!
