Heard at various times, from various sources, when helicopter flying is going on in the back of PAC RC:

"That pilot would throw up if he could figure out which way up was."

"Don''t worry, that''s not part of the heli!" "Well, no, not any more!"

"Go ahead and dump it...they make more parts, and I happen to know a place that sells them!"

"These shelves are here to hide behind when ____ flies...the storage is just an added benefit."

Heard from the co-owner:

"The only things not for sale are the dog and the wife...and we can discuss rental arrangements."

"Everything''s got a price...I''ll be ****** if I know what it is half the time, but it''s all got one."

Heard during different hangar flying stories:

"So I figured out why I like 2.4ghz so much." "Why''s that?" "You don''t have to move the antenna out of the way to watch the crash."

"No, I swear, it wasn''t my fault...what happened, see, was..."

==========================================

And my personal current favorite isn''t really a "line" so much as a "practical joke". PAC has RealFlight G4 up and running all the time. The latest aircraft pack, whatever it is, has a Yak-54 with Gyros. This thing''s a hoot...put it in ANY attitude you wish, and it simply stays there. Heck, with just a few moments'' patience, you can have the thing torque rolling hands off...it''ll sit there and torque roll ALL DAY, and you never have to touch the sticks.

As you might imagine, this makes it ridiculously easy to look like a world-class pro at 3D. Fire it up, and show off your "mad skills" to the passers by.

One note, though...remember to flip the switch controlling the gyros before you hand them the controller when they say "Can I try?" It''s even more fun if you tell them that the switch ''tones the airplane down" to make 3D easier.

While working part time at my LHS, I started the "hall of shame",
A large plastic jar that people could put their broken r/c car parts
in. With parking lot racing every Saturday, it quickly filled up.
Then to my dismay, people began asking to buy the broken parts!
"Can I have that bent NTC3 chassis plate?" I always said no!
After four years, the Hall of shame has grown to three of the jars
filled to the top.

Half the stuff I over hear in a hobby shop is humorous. Either some self appointed big shot is telling an outlandish flying story to sound important or there is a newbie, slightly confused between reality and what he read on line or heard at the field.

At one particular shop, that I no longer frequent, the funny stuff typically came from the people that worked there. The sad part is they think they are providing sound advice.

Just wish I could remember some of the jems I’ve heard.

Reminds me of a young punk at my LHS who said he has a cessna 182 model with a 80 inch propeller on it lol............

One of the best things I ever heard at my LHS was, and I quote, "WD-40 kills roaches." I looked at him and said, "No it doesn't, it just makes them harder to catch." Guess there actually is always another use for it.

"You need to put a wood prop on that engine. You'll know what I mean after it gets you a few times."

Told to a guy looking for a prop for his .91FX
Made me wonder how many times the shop owner had actually been hit by the prop on a .91FX...
