Vectis,
I was the same about PPL flying.Just gave up and spent the money on model aircraft again.I can fly helicopters,fixed wing and gliders,all on the same day.Very little rules,and you still keep current.Also don't hurt so much when you get it wrong.Also the cost of one hours flying can buy a pretty good set of radio.:)

Throw a dice, as a modeller myself,like you flying fixed wing , helicopters ( anybody want to buy a couple?) and gliders I can see the appeal of models as can most pilots.
BUT...if models alone are giving total satisfaction as you would have us believe, what are you doing hanging around a flying forum?:rolleyes:

I don't normally hang around here.Just answering Vectis question.I am an aviation professional and as part of my job have to have an understanding of quite a few aspects.Rotary,Airline ops,military,PPL.ATCO Twr and Radar.
I still have my PPL,night rating,and did half an IMC course.
But there you go.Get your a:mad:ss shot off by ''Biggles'' for showing an interest.Back to the toys.:*

So if you still have your PPL, night rating and half an IMC you haven't really given up have you ? Well not yet at least until your PPL is expired.
You sound a bit jaundiced to me with the biggles snipe.

vectis lady try 30 mins in an Extra 300. It certainly brought back my urge to get flying!
