I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that's the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.

I did. Bought myself a Traxxas Slash 4x4 and got to drive it a bit before my SO at the time took it upon herself to tell me how much of a man-child I am for wanting/owning one and it took the wind right out of my sails. Only thing I have now it a Traxxas Bandit that I have no idea if it works. Have no batteries. Sold my nice Transmitter when I was forced to sell my Slash. Don't know if I will ever get into the hobby again even though I am single now.
