Becoming a part of the radio control airplanes community is like a new family

When you adopt radio control airplanes as a leisure pursuit, you’ll get a spanking new family that’s nothing like the family you’ve known your whole life. They didn’t tell you that on all of those sites about radio control airplanes, did they? It’s true, they’re right there on the shelves in the store. One aisle over from the remote control airplanes and a hop, skip, and a jump from the other rc toys. They’re even all wrapped up so they’re identical in packaging to the r/c planes themselves. Wait, wait, we’re just kidding. Sort of. Take your new radio control airplanes out for a spin and you’ll understand what we’re saying.

Anyone who has had remote control airplanes longer than a few months knows all about this situation. They’ve stood in the middle of the crowd that assembles whenever you bring your rc airplane out for a spin in public view. You may think you’re just taking your radio controlled airplanes out for a quick jaunt by yourself, but after a few minutes turn around. You’ll probably see a huge group of people behind you, and they’re all staring at your r/c planes. Then come the questions. You’d better get back online, Einstein, because these people expect you to be an expert on rc hobbies!

Don’t be frightened. You’re more than capable with your remote control airplanes, right? This is an ideal scenario to help you build up your social life and root out other people who love playing with an rc airplane. Then you can go another step and form a radio controlled airplanes club and hold weekly races! As everyone knows, radio control airplanes are even more fun when you have friends and family with r/c planes. Then you can pit your radio control airplanes against each other!
