I'll reduce it to 3...
  • bad weather (i.e. rain. I don't mind wind that much if it's somewhat constant)
  • charging & maintaining batteries (just takes too damn long, and when charged the night before, can be sure it's raining next day and all week long...)
  • damaging gear i.e. my precious motors... Heart

Here are a few of mine:
  • I agree with charging, but to take it a step further, there are times when I fly in the morning on the way to work and don't have time to make it through all my batteries so then I end up having to discharge too! Sad
  • Going to a flying site and seeing children & people everywhere... (I'm still flying mostly at parks when not out at the RC park)
  • HD camera mounting... for now... 
  • Video antenna issues... busted caps, not fitting on diversity module as I'd like, just being in the way of things...
