I thought this could be a place that we all could share our views on this, why you are into rc planes!
My personal opinion:
Rc flying is for me a rewarding thing to do. I learn something new about this amazing hobby everyday!
When I see results of long time practice!
To have control over a plane in the air is the best feeling

And the sosial bit is a big part of it.
So come on and share your views!
