I don't know why but I always get
"How far away can it go before the engine stops"?
Why would the engine stop just cos it gets away from you????

That's cos observers are so philosophical about things like this. It's a bit like the question, if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise?

RE: The most annoying sayings
Here is the first five quotes that comes from people's mouths 90% of the time when you have one on one contact with them,,
1.You fly models?
2. You ever crash?[&o]
3.Were can I get one?[&:]
4. Is it cheap to fly?(I refer them to question #2)[:@]
5.That looks easy, I can do that?
(most of this question cost them the first 300 dollars, after they go buy a extra300 and go try to fly in there backyard buy themselves because "it looks easy"...

RE: The most annoying sayings
well, let me count them off.
#1, when i floy at the basin, there is always a crowd of spectators. when you pull someting cool off, some little kid, maybe 9 or so who has never seen rc planes before comes over to my plane and asks all kinds of stupid questions like "is it real" i usually say yes, but i have been tempted in the past to say either "no, what are you smoking? i dont see anything" or "apparently, did you not just see it flying?" but like i said, i usually say no, politely, and he goes back, tugs at his dad's shirt, and says something about an "aiwpwane" and his dad says, "let's go look at the airplane" and then they hover over you as you are trying to concentrate on setting up your model, or making some changes on the radio, and ask you a bunch of dumb questions such as "does it fly" or "Does the engine actually work?" and finally the kid says "i want one" and the dad always asks how much it costs. this is where it gets fun, because i always exaggerate the cost way too much, and the look on "dad's" face is truly priceless.
#2. when a spectator that is older than i, (14+) comes up and says "i will bet i can fly that better than you." i usually just ignore them and hope they will loose interest and start chasing bugs somewhere but i really wayt to tell them to go buy a 30% composite arf and see howe they do. sometimes though i will say someting like 'whatever" or "it's your wallet" and they usually reply with something like "it's easy. you just move the little sticks right?"
#3. when an older flyer, (those guys that msut be 60 but still think they are 20) come up to me and assume that because i am 14 that my yak is too advanced a plane for me, or start telling me that there is something wrong with flying up-side down, and basically narrow it down to clying in circles is better because it is less dangerous. i would much rather fly any way i want and stay in the pattern and accept the risk than fly in circles. you guys have no idea how tempted i have been to tell them to go take their heart medications.

Got to be people calling r/c models we've spent weeks building and way too much money on 'toys'.

Also.....
When the first thing out of someones mouth is "how much does that cost?"
The time a little kid was touching a turbine model and my friend asked him to stop. The father said, "no, it's OK".
Last week after I flew my foamy electric and a lady came over with her friend and started trying to peel the rudder apart with her fingernails telling her friend. "see, it's covered in paper like the stuff at the office supply store". I was so shocked by her audacity that I didn't think to smack her in the head, wish I had though.
"Add five words" is the most annoying thing in the humor section and the least humorous. But than again nothing in this section is humorous.

RE: The most annoying sayings
im 14 as well and when i just like to hover my heli out the front of the house hte annoying little brats from across the streeet always ask how much it costed, then go and tell their friends / brothers what i said and completely exxagerate it.
eg/
how much was that?
umm, all up it was about $1100 for the helicopter and $400 for the radio
10 minutes later i have some annoying kid that thinks hes top of the world coz he just turned 10 come up to me and say, ''you shouldnt speend $5000 on just a stupid heli''
by then i want to tell them to go home if its so stupid, i usually ask them what they would spend $5k on,same responce each time...
lollies. - they bag themselves out

RE: The most annoying sayings
with the exception of some lady peeling your rudder apart with her fingernails.
as long as no one gets hurt, humor is usually at it's best when it is at someone else's expense. richard, i am sure that really angered you. but from the standpoint of somebody hearing that story, i cant help but laugh a little.
what ever happened to vittorio? he was probably the most annoying thing you ever found in the humor section
VITTORIO FROM ITALY

RE: The most annoying sayings
Mike,
Let me give you some advice. Don't tell the other kids on your street how much your heli costs. It's a good way to get your house robbed. As much as I would like to show off my planes to the kids in the neighborhood I know that most burglaries are done by local kids and I don't care how rich or poor your neighborhood may be.
Not to mention that hearing a 14 year old with a $1500 heli who hovers it in front of his house is VERY annoying.

You guys want annoying? How about Spaceclam and another 14 year old (PatternDreamer) killing your thread with annoying conversations about nothing, THAT'S annoying.

RE: The most annoying sayings
i agree that patterndreamer's and my conversations may be irritating, and by all means, this is the place to discuss them.
bum, i hope you are just venting about our conversations, because there is really nothing wrong with joking about installing guided surface-air missile implacements at the basin.
cheers,
clam
