Keep it a hobby.

I'm also a ham radio operator. I worked full time selling two-way 800 MHz trunked business radio systems in the eighties. The owners also owned an internationally known ham radio shop where I worked Friday evenings and most Saturdays for hobby money. Instead of talking with hams on the radio, I was selling them radio gear and accessories. It ruined the hobby for me, just working in the hobby and not owning the business. I'm back to ham radio, but it has never been the same since I worked in the field. Had I a chance to do it all over again - I wouldn't. I'm sure that working in the R/C engine repair business would suck even worse than clerking in a ham radio store.
