    Do you ever do this?

    So I'm headed to Orlando Disney world (wife is driving ) and as we are traveling I'm looking out the window at bodies of water and examining them to see if they would be suitable to run a boat in. Then wishing I could lol. Of course I didn't bring any boats with me but I can dream can't I?

      I do it all the time even when watching TV. If any of you have watched the show "Alone" in particular the most recent season in Patagonia, the freshwater lake they are on is the smoothest water I have ever seen!! I mention this to the wife and she insists it would ruin the tranquility, she just doesn't get-it!

        Alone is a great show. Yes, I envisioned running boats on most of the locations last season.

              Sorry as much as I enjoy my RC boat play time, I want to fish it first, in a real boat.

                  Absolutely, and watch the shore line for a good launching spot. Also look at the empty fields for a good flying site. I usually have a small FE boat and a couple of small airplanes when we take an RV trip.

                          same!
                          Always carry a small RC in the trunk of the car. One can make a rest stop.
                          For Lone-Wolf: visit Patagonia Argentina, Nahuel Huapi National Park, is a beautiful place in spring and summer.

                              Don't worry. I gets worse.

                              I can't drive past a good piece of water without wondering where to put the timing lights.
