Passion for model airplanes!

By definition, model airplanes are those activities practiced with small flying objects, remotely controlled or in free flight, on which there is no crew. Defining model airplanes as a hobby is limiting, as it involves conceiving, designing and developing a flying machine.
Calling model airplanes a hobby is limiting, as it involves conceiving, designing and fine-tuning a flying machine.
Construction is one of the main aspects, during which you learn how to work with various materials such as: wood, aluminum, brass, steel, copper, plastic, carbon fiber, fabrics, glues, paints, etc.
The piloting exercise crowns the work, because there is no greater satisfaction than that of seeing your model airplane take off and soar slowly and majestically in the sky, or zoom at dizzying speed, or evolve in the most varied acrobatic maneuvers, to then land on the runway.
Among free time activities, it is certainly one of the most complete and suggestive capable of developing creativity.
Therefore, it is good to start from a young age to learn notions of flight aerodynamics and also knowledge in the field of manufacturing techniques, mechanics, electronics and computer science.
While I wouldn't say the hobby is dying, interest in it does seem to be waning.
In this regard, I think that we veterans should do our best to keep interest in model airplanes high, proposing educational projects aimed at opening specific laboratories in school facilities where kids would have the opportunity to experiment and discover their natural aptitudes.
