I used to fly RC planes. Problem was I had a single speed plane. Zero throttle control, just the cheapo model. It was a pain because I couldn't lower speeds to land it. I HAD to fly it until it ran out of gas. So if it all of a sudden got windy, I couldn't just land it without risking damage to it. Good to spend a little extra $$ and get one with throttle control.
I have enough expensive hobbies.
I don't need to get back into RC cars and planes again.
Normally when the weather turns bad, I ride my bicycle on the trainer in the garage, run on the treadmill, read a book, draw (I'm big into art), work on my bikes (motor or pedal), work on my car (clutch is going to get replaced very soon), play video games (WoW or 360), watch a DVD. Normally I watch like Ironman Kona to dream about the warmer weather, or a motorcycle DVD like MotoGP or AMA Superbike.
Plenty of options out there!
