Well, drones are the next step from video games. :hihi: I'd love to take that on as a hobby as well, but considering I'm in the DC area with all of it's restrictions, I'm not sure I can afford it.
i am kind of sandwiched in between two airports here in Metairie and it's pretty densely populated so i don't have a ton of places to fly locally for fun...but there is the Bonnet Carre spillway about 20 minutes from here that is a huge wide open area....
