I'm just lucky enough to have a wife that enjoys seeing these rc helicopters. She has no interest in learning to fly them but she has flown my glider with me while on the buddy box. she did really well. My wife can see that I enjoy the build and I enjoy the thrill of the flight. She tells me that she doesn't mind what I spend my "overtime" money on, as long as the bills are paid, food is in the fridge, and some money is going into savings. So...I just have to work a bit of overtime and I can get what I want. Now, since I do have a 1 week old baby girl, some of my rc money is directed towards her, but I still manage to put some $$$ aside for my RC stuff.
