Status: offline 		My girlfriend is just getting into the hobby and after we bought her a pink plane with tulips, the first thing she said was, "I've got to get rid of that PINK!"

So, here is her finished (99%) plane. She couldn't wait to show it off. She took off the old covering prepped and recovered this thing all by herself.

Very cool.

Status: offline 		I (normal male gearhead) got into r/c planes about 4 months ago. As I was new, and had very little help (didn't even know AMA existed until a couple weeks ago.... membership is on the way, as well as membership to local flight club) So far I have spent more money than I can count, and have built 12 planes so far. I have 3 radios, 4 motors, and a whole closet full of tools and glue and 15 types of tape. My fiance was at first very skeptical of the whole affair, and thought I was basically nuts. However, when I built her a bungee launch glider out of 4mm coroplast, and put a controller in her hands, she was hooked. I now get no objections to my airplane projects. She is helping to support my hobby financially, and she even insisted that we register at the local hobby shop for wedding gifts. I would have to consider myself very lucky at this point. I can't imagine anyone else putting up with a living room full of coroplast and balsa shavings, that you can't safely walk through. We live in a small apartment, and I don't have a good work area yet. it is hard to clear out 32 square feet of floor space to spread out the coroplast (oh yeah forgot to mention that I have 10 sheets of it stored under the twin beds upstairs. they have to go crosswise, to fit under. We plan next year to have a house, so I can get my airplane hanger underway (the garage). If all goes well, I will get her AMA certified and flying at the field as well. However, she doesn't like to build them like I do. She just likes to fly them. I almost look forward to a good crash, so I can have more time working on planes. Don't know what to do with myself if I am not bulding a new plane... and I can't put the electronics into a new plane until I destroy the current one.

Proving my point again. You can't get pretty women to pose with RC models (they are cute but not babes).
The only great looking girl I've seen holding a plane is Mr. Bonk's wife.

Status: offline 		What have I started! RC T&A! That wasn't what I was looking for when I started this thread. I was kidding around when I said, "I am looking for a woman. Know any one looking for a good looking guy like me?". Did you read the original post? After a few jokesters posted, I started kidding around too! I didn't want an RC T&A site to start up.

Joe Nall Lady Demo Pilot - 7/3/2002 7:06:19 PM

Status: offline 		I am the lady who did the helicopter demo at the Joe Nall. This is my 5th season flying RC and I enjoy it thuroughly. And I enjoy all the great people I've met. I fly both airplanes and helicopters, I am Vice President of two RC clubs, Intro Pilot for one of them and a sponserd pilot for Bergen RC Helicopters, Vel-Tye, JR, and RC Motorsports hobby shop.

All you guys wonder why more women don't fly RC. It's because if we show up at the field, carrying a field box and helicopter or plane and dressed to get a little dirty, we automatically get treated like one of the guys. And it gets even worse if we show some competence in flying and maintaining our equipment. I don't know why it works this way, I just know it does. I've been lucky enough to meet one of the few guys that doesn't mind that I fly better than he does, in fact he's usually the one bragging me up to everyone. I'm all for womens lib, but I still like to be treated like a lady.

I really don't know how you would be able to encourage other women to fly RC. And if you get them to fly, don't expect them to come out wearing a dress and heels with our hair done up nice. You guys don't get all gussied up to head for the field either.

I fly RC because I've always wanted to and I had a liberal enough family to encourage me to chase my dreams even though they aren't the stereotypical female things.

For now, just find a way to have your better half get envolved with you in your favorite hobby, and don't force anyone to something they have no interest in.

There is an organization to support if you are interested in getting women envolved.

Thanks for letting me babble,

My wife is an admitted r/c widow. I thought about getting her into it, but then realized it'd cut my modeling budget in half ! ;-Þ
