The cold Christmas days are always much more bearable with the warmth of your family. However, as the saying goes: too much of a good thing is a bad thing. To help you maintain the perfect balance, here are 7 low-key things to do to avoid being bored at home with family (and COVID) during the winter break.

  1. Do your family (and yourself) a huge favor by cleaning out and tidying up your RC workbench. Highly legitimate while killing two birds with one stone; slip away from any pesky engagements and conceal yourself in your mancave.
  2. Get the Microsoft Flight Simulator and pull your family and friends (especially children) into the RC hobby. Start your little RC cult and secure the majority voice of your household.
  3. Build your own micro-RC plane and fly it around within the comforts of your home. Here is a great and simple tutorial on how to make one.
  4. For all the real OGs out there, take this opportunity and clean out your glow engines during the offseason. Here is a quick and easy guide you can follow.
  5. Plan for your next RC project and set up a budget and priority list for everything you may need including but not limited to: raw materials, spare parts, accessories, power systems, and batteries. Next time someone confronts you about buying another RC model, whip up the list and tell them it was all prudently planned for.
  6. Build your own storage or racking system for your RC models. Not only will this make your life much easier, but it can also be a centerpiece of your house if done nicely. Here are some inspirations to get you started.
  7. What is Christmas if not spent with family? That's right, get your RC family and buddies together for a feast and converse about your all exciting RC plans and projects for the next year.
