RE: How often does your spouse/significant other come to the field?
It saddens me, because I can't even get my wife into our full size plane, let alone an interest in R/C. Now on the other hand, she's got it good, because to show support I'll go into every scrapbooking or craft store there is and really listen to her. I can rattle off the name of a dozen companies and products related to scrapbooking, but she can't tell me which aircraft is which (Cessna from Corsair).
What's even more difficult is that I have more women, through social circles, interested in having me take them flying or with R/C, than my wife. Naw, I'm not bitter . . .
