I'm liking the ideas of photography and RC heli's/planes, I already play bass and guitar but fancy trying something completely different.

Good suggestions so far and interesting seeing what else everyone does

How do you practise landing a RC plane? Do you get a cheap model first so it doesnt matter when you crash, then get a more expensive model when you can land without crashing?

You can build drones at the moment using ardupilot which do automatic landing/take off. I am looking to get involved with that but you need to splash out on about £300 worth of kit.

You use a simulator that you run on the PC, and you use your actual transmitter to control it.

wargaming, DIY, driving, photography, fitness, walking, reading, learning another instrument and so on, the possibilities are endless.

Those are mine, but since I don't have money at the moment it's all I can really do.

Cross Stitch (you may think it's a bit girly but look at these) a very relaxing hobby requires concentration so if you want something that will pass time unknowingly, do crosstitch.

Was at some arts and craft shop today and spotted a Eddie Stobbard cross stitch kit so if you don't want flouncy cutesy girly ones there are butch ones out there

I like cross stitch, haven't done any in too long

Those cross stitches could use some anti aliasing, especially that peacock, I think you should force AA in gpu control panel.

Photography.

But the line is so blurred these days i am not sure if it is still a hobby or a job.

I still shoot for fun but mostly I shoot for clients of late.

Planking
Owling
Batmaning

Or if you are not a retard, Photography, another one that I dont think has been mentioned... Home improvements/decorating (if you have your own place) very time consuming and you will have a sense of accheivement once you are finnished, then start again
