What do you enjoy most about the Scale R/C hobby?

Well, my favorite part of the hobby isn't one of the choices so I will say the building part. I enjoy more then everything else the fellowship and interacting with my fellow modelers.

I'm with Ron on that! To me as well the most important part is the fellowship and cameraderie with my fellow modellers. However, building is also a vital part of the hobby for me, so my vote goes there.

I think research is great! I love the what I call 'Sherlock Holmes feeling' when you managed to find something out. Makes me feel real smart...    And digging away in history, reading very interesting things is wonderful.

Allthough at times, research can be very frustrating too. In that way I guess it's not different from building or finishing.

I have to agree that the research is a great part of the hobby. I have learned more about the history of WWI and WWII since I started building warbirds than the entire time I was in school. I can't seem to get enough of the history now too but my favorite part of it is building something as complex as a big airplane and watching it perform well, seeing it fly for the first few times. Gathering up all the parts and assembling them into an airplane that looks realistic and performs as well as it looks is such a great feeling. Not all my builds have been great lookers and/or performers but the thrill of seeing them fly was just as good.

Being able to talk to people that have skills such as what we have on RCSB is such a plus too. Sometimes just watching them bring their projects together is as much a thrill as doing my own, almost. I like to work out my own problems but the older I get, the more I depend on the experience of others that have "already been there".
