Back after a long Hiatus, where I stand now with my Hobbys

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

WOW, its been almost 2 1/2 years since my last post, where has the time gone.  Well, a lot has happened in the Arizona, Valley of the Sun area.  Almost ALL of the RC off-road tracks in the valley and in Tuscon are now closed.  I think there may be 1 in Tuscon, and SRS/Hobbytown in Phoenix/Glendale I believe are still open.  For the only on-road track in the Valley Hobbytown Gilbert, they are closed as well.  So as you can see, my RC On-Road and Off-Road racing is done, I am no longer motivated to continue in that area with almost no place to race, unless I drive a long ways.

So, to update everyone on what I have been doing lately,  My brother has been tinkering with RC Airplane, and I did buy a Super Cub DSM back in 2013 that I did fly several times.  You can find posts about that by using the Archive on the right, and going down to April 2013 for posts about that plane.  You can also go to my YouTube channel and see videos of me flying as well.

So, where do I stand now.

Well, I am planning on getting in RC Flying, both planes and Quadcopter/Drones.  Along with this, I want to get into some aerial photography with both, and then we will see where things go.  I also would like to jump into the 5th Scale market of racing, starting with Off-Road and possibly going on-road as there is a Track in Tuscon area.  But for now its just going to be the RC Flying.

Some of the features of the blogs will be changing, over the next week or so I plan on changing the menu, adding some features for the RC Flying hobby, etc.

Until next time, keep dreaming, and don't loose hope on your hobbies.
