I have recently noticed that Combat Fliers wear Hard Hats, and it makes me wonder...
Seeing as how the rest of their attire is comprised of shorts and a T-Shirt, a hard hat would do little to protect you if you were hit by a plane. Therefore, the hard hat must simply be worn to signify the fact that they are Combat Fliers.
Then I got to thinking...
Since there are many different aspects of the R/C hobby, maybe we should ALL wear some article of clothing to signify which field we participate in.
For example... The guys that fly 1/2a could wear a hat like this:
While the giant scale fliers could wear...
Maybe Pylon fliers would like something that looks fast!
While the Sport flier would prefer a more casual look...
The Jet heads would need something with a turbine...
