The one thing I hate most is repairing a badly damaged model. Personally, I would sooner build a new one. However, I have repaired many in my life and I sometimes do it just for the heck of it. I repairing one now I rescued from the trash. Someone threw it away and I caught it on the way past! I find it interesting to look at the wreckage and to decide the best way to repair it. Wooden models are the most difficult and challenging, but satisfying when they come out right. However, they can be frustrating especially cutting wood and making the new parts fit the old.
The things I love most are the challenges of determining the best way to fit something or make a one off part. I enjoy machining one off parts. I love the anticipation of the first flight and the excitement when the completed model flies well or better than expected. Reflecting on a day flying and the camaraderie with your flying buddies. The learning curve from trying something new or different and the satisfaction of something well done.
I'm sure every one of you can relate to some of the above if not all.
