    I have been a model railroader for 50 years, building and photographing HO scale trains.

    I also participate with a group called "Beat the Heat" which is active and retired cops and firefighters that use hotrod cop cars as tools to talk to young people about the dangers of illegal street racing.
    WV, tell them there is a real racetrack they can race at somewhat near. I race at Summit Point Motorsports Park and we have many track days there. Near Charles Town WV.

    I'd say my primary hobby is flying, full-scale that is. I'm working on my private pilot license now, soon to take my checkride. Currently I'm flying a 1972 Cessna 172M and was previously flying a 2011 Cessna 172SP with a glass cockpit and the whole works. I've also been lucky enough to log some hours in float planes (SuperCub) while traveling in the Pacific Northwest. Such a fun time if you get the chance, couldn't recommend it more. Other than that, I spend a lot of my time flying RC aircraft, dabbling in photography, and playing piano in a jazz ensemble. Pretty wide variety there... but lots of fun!

    My main hobby is r/c modelling, and has been since 1961. For 35 years enjoyed boating, 17 years sailing, and then power boating in Chesapeake Bay, ICW, Florida, Keys(a different world from Fl), and Bahamas. Quit that and now it's travel--- via cruise ship, and in our motorhome. I take a couple of r/c planes with us when we travel by r/v. Reading fiction novels is also big for me. Almost left out owning a 1/4 share in a Piper Cherokee 180.

    My hobbies are limited to aviation. :)

    Besides R/C flying I'm a full scale pilot as well, I currently own a Cessna 182.

    My 182 flying as down last year due to model flying, I need to fix that this year. :)

    I also like to spend my time getting blood/iron transfusions. I have been losing blood for years off and on, but we can't figure out where. I've done just about every test multiple times. Which is the main reason why I am now in school and not working.

    98 planes?! Thank you bradl4648, now I don't feel so bad with 25 :)

    I like fishing (mostly walleye) riding motorcycle, camping, guns, beer and woodworking. I turned the hobby of woodworking into a career and build custom kitchens, baths, etc.

    Some of my hobbies include collecting guitars and records. I've played in various Chicago punk bands for the past 10 years. I'm the captain of a men's league hockey team and the assistant captain of another. We play year round and participate in various tournaments and charity games such as the Wounded Warrior Project, the Leinenkugels Pond hockey championships, and the USA hockey pond hockey nationals in Eagle River, WI. I also enjoy working on cars and Building bikes.

    As for me I love archery hunting deer/turkey/woodchucks, I use to fish but that I have not done so in 5-6 years. I pretty much went to flying and put all my money in that until hunting season rolls around then the planes go into hibernation for a couple of months!! That's probably why I have accumulated 98 planes! It's so bad of me to do and yet I have a hard time letting any go I know. I would miss one if I did hahaha.

I enjoy building planes from kits and have a dream project of the Balsa USA Fokker DR1 1/3 Scale and I do enjoy plastic modeling.
    Wayne, my sis-in-law moved the HH last May, and we spent New Year's with her this year. My daughter and I kayaked the backwater, and the wife and I spent New Year's Eve (also happened to be our 15th wedding anniversary) at The Beach House listening to Cranford Hollow. Nice place, even in Dec/Jan. Good luck with the RC club!

    They all were...I build and sell them...building an off-grid house right now so I've taken a break right now, the only one I have now if the GMC truck in the snow.
