RE: Career opportunities with R/C
I certainly agree with narrowing down the field to a specific part of the hobby. I'm turned off by the typical hobby shop ownership, and my thoughts relate to Scars examples of specified trades.
I'm already a builder for my LHS, so I build airplanes for store credit, which is really cool. thats step 1.... also I've recently been appointed factory pilot for them, so that brings me one step up. now I test thier airplanes, write small reviews, give specific building tips, and recieve supplies to continue learning & improving my skill, all out of their pocket.(yaay) that is my step 2. i think this is working out so far.
I think that there is a very successful, positive, profitable future to following a passion and not having your love turn astray.. I'm only 19, and it has only just begun.
