Another hobbies except S8/A8s ?
Well, I'd like to know how you spend your free time...
I do: - speaker building (own designs, own manufacturing) - custom HTPC building (or PC) - photography (DSLR and such + photoshop) - flying RC planes (used to build them, but now buying is cheaper and faster)..Planing on building a 130 inch span all foam WW2 fighter (ultra light floater with scale like characteristics) Lets hear your addictions Danny P.S>: current HTPC in making, to match my TEAC Reference setup Last edited by barackuda; 6th August 2014 at 09:15 PM.

I got interests, things I like to do and try my hand at.
I mainly prefer designing and building things. But at the moment I design them and get my mate to build it cause he got the tools and skills. Waiting on 3 things to come back. Really looking forward to them, 2 for the car and 1 for a bell tent. I'm currently trying to generate funds to purchase a metal lathe and vertical milling machine so I can start building my ideas my self without having to send them off to a third party. But till that happens I will have to carry on enjoying my riding, cars and electronics. I made this. http://youtu.be/dO9D3dHJ-E4?list=UU_...h41ZgHnHsdASvg

Used to fly my night hawk replica helicopter with Raptor internal running gear and a bad ass gyro that would hold a head wind of 15mph ! Oh and I like tinkering with A8s of course |

Another RC plane addict here
Here is one of my better flights, hope its not too boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_LBa_5cn8 I probably spend almost as much time putting power systems together and testing as I do flying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lcrc5EvO3k I just repainted one of my older jets. They are very small only 70cm long Respect to Guy, 14ft Spitfire, I'd be too scared to fly that. Last edited by Goran; 7th August 2014 at 02:09 PM. |

Goran youd be surprised how easy it is to fly large models. Its easier then jerky small light planes. Thats why I want to build 130-160inch model. They fly better, slower, predictably....
That music box is very nice, and ingenious too.... 14ft Spitfire...wow.Would like to have that.One of my favorite planes.What engine did it had? Reduction from Mick Reeves? Danny |

As for hobbies. If I have any, I guess its cooking, eating & drinking (mainly alcohol in all its delightful concoctions). And being a slob. Oh yes, sleeping. And reading. And photography (a bit). Opera (oh yeah).
