You know you are an RC plane guy when....
you can stick your arm into a fuse up to your elbow and zip tie with one hand.
you can smell the exhaust of a glow motor and tell the fuel is old.
your wife can hold the left wing with her finger when you check the CG.
most of your jeans have hard CA spots on them.

you go to a picknick and look to see if there is enough room to fly. ( I just did this)
your shop is so full you have to move three planes to work on one, and you are planning you next purchase.

I certainly identify with your second sentence

When you can tell what engine a rc plane has when its 300 feet up just by sound.
When you have a plane behind the tv
When your dining room table is being taken up by a half completed wing
When you wake up holding your transmitter
When you have 4 different f-16 nitro ducted fan jets
When you prefer planes over women
When you toss and turn at night thinking about that new plane that was just released....

when you enjoy posts like this one!
When you love the smell of the first glow fuel exhaust in the morning, like bacon and coffee.
When you have jeans just for flying due to the glow smell on the legs.
When you have a vehicle designated for hauling planes.
When you think choppers are beating the air into submission.
When you take the wife out on rainy days.
When you know you should spend more on your wife.

You look into open garages just hoping to catch a glimpse of a wing or tail sticking out from somewhere within the rest of the junk
You look at every open field thinking, "this could work"
You buy a car based on the largest wingspan you own/anticipate owning
Your dream home would be on 80 acres of open field, with paved runway 50' from your back door
