I was in FFA

I was in FFA[/QUOTE Yea, something like that, F, something, something. You know Federal, regulate, regulate, and license, and tax.

Federal Aviation Administration.
Now they will send you to jail for flying your Radio control plane in your back yard if you do not have a license.

I always wanted to fly RC helicopters. My son gave me a RC boat a few Christmas' ago. Ran it two years until a motor corroded out. It steered with two motors. Never could figure out that short.
Anyway, since I have an island pond now..............I want another RC boat. Maybe a battleship and a PT boat.

Ya I don't think I'll be paying any fines ... I copied this from that link.

"Don'ts"
Don't fly near manned aircraft
Don't fly beyond line of sight of the operator
Don't fly an aircraft weighing more than 55 lbs unless it's certified by an aeromodeling community-based organization
Don't fly contrary to your aeromodeling community-based safety guidelines
Don't fly model aircraft for payment or commercial purposes

I was just looking at the beginning post back in 2011 when we were in a drought.
Big change, we got too much water.

I've only passed through there, except for going fishing at Lake Livingston once, and even that was more than 40 years ago, but I do think that's a place I'd like to live. When we were full time RVers, we used a mail forwarding service in Arlington, but Livingston has one or more RV parks for full timers to use as a home address and mail forwarding service. I know that used to be very popular; one reason being no property tax on your RV with that address. Of course I'm sure much has changed there as with any place else, but I still think Livingston would be a good place to live.

Livingston is still a full-timers location. Escapees RV Club is located there.

Livingston is a nice town. Go West to the lake. Go East to the Alabama Coushatta Indian Reservation and East Texas' Piney Woods. Logging is big ALL around there. The Alabama Coushatta are trying to open a casino.

Thanks for the info. We have two in Livingston, and two in Wharton we are interested in. Long way apart, but all have acreage, and space for the horses. Still held up on waiting on a buyer on our current house. Keep your fingers crossed!

Either would be quite the commute.

With respect, you must be talking about a different Livingston than the one I know!

Since you've got horses you should check out Madisonville area. Kinda the horse capital of this area. Straight up I-45 from H town.
