I have been into planes since I was 10, that makes it 15 years now. I dont do much anymore, my main plane I take out is my glider, I built that sucker from scratch, 9 1/2 foot wing span. I love that thing, I send it into the air off a high-start and it flys for a long ass time and nice and slow, very relaxing. In the past I had a twin engine b-52 bomber that me and my dad built with a working bomb hatch in it, dropping the little parachute men was fun. I did own a jet, spent 8 months building it, spent about 45 seconds flying it and crashed it into my high school gym brick wall, small explosion and everything, that ****** and was satisfying all at the same time. I love planes but dont really have the time to upkeep them anymore, and I have become kinda disenfrachised by the kits on the market now, most of them **** IMO so you need to build your own from the ground up but that takes alot of time and some trial and error, all takes up more time
