Anyone got on strange hobbies on here that they are using this time to get indulged in, or maybe going back to a hobby you took up many years ago?

RC helecopter with combustion engine. Enjoyed building it, putting it through its paces on the ground but not so flying. 4 flights, 4 crash landings and about £1000 in repairs . Now I just gaze at it, but maybe one more go!!!!!

Would a drone be a suitable replacement hobby??RC helecopter with combustion engine. Enjoyed building it, putting it through its paces on the ground but not so flying. 4 flights, 4 crash landings and about £1000 in repairs . Now I just gaze at it, but maybe one more go!!!!!
That's what I've done on the patio.My brother tried that hobby years ago with the same result. I seem to remember he used to take it to a very big field and strap it to a B& D workbench.
I did see it flying briefly before taking cover.

Yes, but that's considered cheating.Would a drone be a suitable replacement hobby??
Too true. Planes are much easier than helicopters.My brother flys RC planes, helicopters are notorious. I have been witness to many disastrous maiden flights, (which, as a sibling, I obviously found highly comical )
Awesome but bet you he couldn't boil an egg Seriously though what a skill level.
That actually looks like one of my brothers flights, although all his manoeuvres are completely unintentional
I didn’t know that was you. But your user name should have given it away.Dressing up in a see-through top and posting pictures of yourself on an Internet forum - Anyone?
Damn! Sussed!I didn’t know that was you. But your user name should have given it away.
Damn! Sussed!
It wasn’t actually me. My money’s on crazygranddad - not seen him for a while.Why Purley, out of interest? Happy memories?
Awsome
Have you used a simulator - ideal for practicing on whilst keeping costs down ?RC helecopter with combustion engine.
