what are you hobbies besides R/C? - RC-Monster Forums

I'm pretty busy with work and many childranos but like some of you hi-fi is one of my hobbies:
JLTI SACD player
Rega turntable
Music First Audio transformer preamp
Goldmund power amps (vertically biamped )
Hyperion speakers (SO natural they are great)
Massive homebrew stereo subs (active Peerless 12" design)
Plus the other systems in bedroom etc.
A couple of plasmas but video isn't my thing really.

My other hobbies include (believe it or not) flashlights (mostly DIY from high grade materials). If you want to see some real loonies see www.candlepowerforums.com. LED technology has gone wild- my interest in torches took me into batteries then A123s then BACK into R/C after a few years. Weird, isn't it?

OMG! I'm into flashlights too. I bet there is 100 different types of flashlights around the house here. We don't fear a power outage much at all. LOL

I have a thing for battery powered fans too.

One of my loves, is going out in the boat and fishing. Mother Nature is Beautiful!

Yep the new Crees are brushless, while the old incans are nitro.
Soon the power balance will tip there as well!
Elektrolumens make some nice stuff- it is sad but I get a kick out of it everytime someone sees a 10cm torch, picks it up, looks into the business end, and THEN turns it on....dumb....dumb...dumb (and blind!)
