I said it was a fabulous hobby but very time consuming.
I dont know. It is as time consuming as you make it. I spend far too long on PPRuNe but quite enjoy that as an occasional distraction when I am using my computer. I fly a little over 100 hours a year on a combination of business and pleasure. I use to spend some time on organising maintenance etc but that is all done for me now so it is entirely turn up and go. Nearly every flight is for a purpose at the destination so I would end up driving there anyway. I do try and fly about four or five hours a year for "training" and to make sure I am not doing too many silly things but a few hours of that is taken up with the twin rating, SEP and keeping two licenses going.
So while it can be very time consuming equally it can be as time consuming as you want it to be. Only yesterday I was musing how many of us fly for the pure pleasure of flying. However as much as I enjoy flying I think you can reach the point where it becomes a means to end, a way of getting from A to B, but having some fun along the way. I am not sure if most of my flying was just to keep current and to enjoy coffee at another flying club somewhere whether I would still be doing it.
