My neighbor (who is also a major computer geek) is big into the RC
flying thing. He's the president of a New England group of RC
enthusiasts and is constantly building new and better airplanes and
helicopters. I was joking with him one day and told him if he had
invested the money in flying lessons that he had in RC aircraft, he'd
have his ticket by now.

Yabut, the ongoing joke is if you fly RC, you get to walk *towards* the scene of the crash. :-) Instead of hopefully away.
