I find I’m only interested in modeling during the fall/winter. I just can’t bring myself to work on a model in the nice weather. Am I unique or do you guys find the same? Just curious.

I build when ever I feel like it, summer or winter it doesn’ t matter. But I have to admit that its in the winter I build the most.
Summer, spring, winter, whatever, doesn’t really matter, BUT I do tend to build a lot less in the summer, as I’m outside a lot more.
nope, I model all year!!!
I’ll work out on my patio on nice days and since I have a condo-I can model instead of mow.
I’m pretty much a year round builder.
Year round. I have another hobby, but it requires Bright Sunny weather on the weekends. That seems like the best time for rain, so I end up planning for things around my modelling [:)]
While my first love has always been scale plastic model aircraft, I find that now I’m building them primarily (but not exclusively) in the colder months. In the warmer months I tend to gravitate towards my electric RC warbirds. That way I’m still technically working on model airplanes AND I can go outside and enjoy them and the weather.

Electric RC warbirds??? I’ve never seen that. Only flying models of warbirds I saw are all gasolene engined. I have an electric RC airplane, but it’s not a model of anything, just a body with a shaft for the tail, two servos and a big wing [:)]
Any place I can take a look at RC warbirds on the net?
I have my modeling space always open and try to build all year, but in the summer, when temperature is too high i can’t concentrate enough. I hate too much heat!
Hey there Zokissima! I love checking out the Hobby Lobby web site. On the left side you’ll see a link titled “Electric RC Airplanes”. Once on the new page scroll down a little bit and you’ll see a link for their Warbird and Military Electric RC Aircraft.
Enjoy!

PS. I’ll try to attach the link. Give this a try. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/warbirds.htm
Also, GWS is another company to look into.
I also model year round, whenever the weather is too bad to do anything outdoors.
Year around modeler. The summer is when I have the most time to work on models since I work a public high school I get alot more time off in the summer.
Year round.
Year round so far. I n the summer I work out side all day so coming home and sitting in the air conditioning ranks high on my list.
Thats why I do RC as well. Gives me the chance to be in the outdoors with my models.
All my planes are gassers. I havn’t been able to afford to go electric. A P-51, Corsair, and a litlle .25 size Texan are my warbirds.
Those electrics from Hobby Lobby are very detailed, and are nice flyers.
Since it is so hot in Kansas, I tend to model in the afternoons in the airconditioning.
For a good webstite go to rcwarbirds.com
For a good forum, try http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/default.asp?f=1&b=100
They have everything from electrics to 1/2 scale turbines.

Richard,
My modeling schedule is more determined by what other projects have a higher priority[:(] The time of year really doesn’t have much to do with when I model as I jump into it whenever I can[:)]
I do tend to have enough time to get done what I want to do[:D]
Richard
Year round but I’m doing more models during the winter. But I like modeling during summer nights. It is not too hot a it is quiet. I never modeling during the day.
Year round, but the years are going by too fast!
in the past it was year round. now that i am fully immersed in the hobby again we shall see.
