 I will have to read the book.  I was big in Model Airplanes until got married.  Also went Hunting or Fishing every weekend.  Model airplanes were the middle of the week unless there was a special event then I had to make a decision.
I give up model Airplanes and Fishing but kept my hunting Habit. 
Now I am retired and having saved all my Model Airplanes and kits built a Office/Electronics/Model Airplane shop inside my 3500 sq ft shop.  
I am just completing moving everything in.  I plan to build my own radios and airplanes.  Join a model Air-Plane club in the area and see if I still have knack.   I was building my radios  right before giving it up.  The radios have changed but I need a challenge in retirement and my experience is in designing  high performance electronics and writing firmware.   
I never would have guess you would be involved in Radio Control Airplanes. 
Small World.
Maybe I will even get time to restore my old tractors.
I also plan to do some traveling.  Purchased a Fore-travel Diesel pusher.  Been working on that the last six months and going on short trips to certify things.  I pretty much have it in shape.  My experience with Diesel trucks was on the farm and Designing Seismic Vibrator trucks in the 70's and 80's. My Heavy Diesel mechanic skills are coming back.  Hope I have enough time to do everything. 
May make an RV trip to Alaska If I live long enough. Better to have too much to do instead of not enough don't you think.

 As things are slow at this time , and since I am friends with several of you on FaceBook , I wanted to let all of you know about an event that has recently happened to me . I have always been interested in antique tractors and of all things , Airplanes . I am Secretary , Treasurer of the La 2 cyl club and have been for the last 13 years . I have been a member of the LakeAreaRadioControlSoicity ( LARKS ) and a charter member since 1968 . There is also a Model AirPark named after me ( Bo Hinch Model Air Park ) in Sulphur , La . So , in November of last year , my middle daughter asked me to do a favor for her , which was to write a short story about my life . As I was  middle aged when she was born , she never knew any of her grandparents as they were all deceased and she thought it would make for interesting future reading for all of my children and grandchildren .So I began my story ( outlined like a book ) and began the long , slow painful hunt & peck system on the computer . After about seven months of writing ( along with photos ) , I turned it over for her to read and make suggestions as to what needed to be changed . Her comment was , Dad , I don't want to change a thing and as a matter of fact , I am going to have Amazon publish it , 199 pages . Well , last week I received my copy and it was / is , amazing to be able to read about MY DREAMS AS A SMALL CHILD published by Amazon . .https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BGM1LWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&asin=B09BGM1LWW&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1So , if any of you would like to see what kind of a monster I was growing up and trying to keep the old tractors running with very few parts , and at the same time watching the airplanes flying over the field where we were always working , then you have to buy the book . Search for Bo Hinch on amazon and it will come up._______________________________________________
