Biggest percentage of it for me is....designing neat stuff to fly. Sometimes for contest purposes. Other times for general sport flying or a technical challenge.
Now definitely, FLYING is what it's all about. But a lot of what I fly are models I've designed. Having learned a lot of things thru the years that I NEVER thought I'd be able to do.
Lots of other things too, the people, goals, and related things (like photography/videos/electronics).
But a lot of my day to day rocket thoughts involve designing in some way or another.
Have another unique project coming down the pike, which if things go well, may be flying by the end of April. I'll announce it later, once the build has gotten far enough. I figure it has a 80% chance of success, 10% chance of not flying well, and 10% chance of disaster (when I try it in full operational mode). This is one I've had on the back burner for 2 years, finally moving forward with it.
