And i suppose Austrailia was'nt stolen from the Abo's?

Most annoying thing in RC is anyone under the age of about 25

Has anyone else noticed how all the ones annoyed by "can I have a go" are from the UK? I have never been asked that and it seems none of my fellow countrymen have been reporting that one. I guess those Brits are just cheekier than us.

I didnt think this is really annoying, but more funny than anything.

At a funfly a guy had a 40 sized plane in a torque roll and a spectator said to his son. Look son, that plane cant fly any higher, its stuck.

It´s always funny to hear comments of ¨know it alls¨ at flying events as they try to explain the planes to everyone, eventhough they know nothing about RC.

And just so read this post Basin Bum, I am 28. If you need proof of ID let me know.[:'(]

Normally said by other R/Cer's at the field " A good pilot would have done that lower and inverted". Said in jest, but still anoying.

âûñøåå îäíî

why is that? I'm 14, and I haven't done anything to piss off people at the feilds where I fly.


I can live with the questions, but when they start touching my planes.......

Just heard this recently
A kid like 6 comes up to me and asked "What is this?" "What does it do?" "How?" (points at motor, then batteries, then body, then
everything else.

Huh? I don't get it.

I have found that something that is really beggining to annoy me is when someone writes a post and types period at the end. Like because they have typed period it makes their entire post true and accurite.

CRAZY BOUT RC

I hate it when people say"Gosh does it have to be so loud and obnoxious?"(when i run my old nitro sport SE) I say "yes.......do You?"

Yesterday my neighbour came by as I was working on my latest model, a 2M pattern model. She says "Ohh, I didnt know you played with toy aeroplanes, arent they cute."

ARGGGHHH.

What's wrong with that? they are toys.... and some are cute. Just some are more expensive and take more skill to operate than others.

But - For the record, I agree, that IS annoying. [:@]

One of THE most annoying saying that I got when working on my sub is that when someone comes up to you, sees what you are doing, maybe doesn't understand what you are doing, and says, "That is not going to work!" Doesn't that just cracks you up? Another thing, I agree with the little kid trying to have a try thing, so make up stuff to make them think that your RC vehicle will be really hard to control,

e.g.: "you need a diver's/pilot's/boater's license whatever..."
"you have to be at least, 18 years or older to operate this thing....."
"it's my friend's, plane/car/boat and I'm only waiting for him, come back in an hour and we'll see if he gets here."

Does it fly?

Can you fly?

How high will it go?

How fast can it go?

Can I try? Please?[&:]

What's that? What's this do?

Does that grey thing on the front spin?

When you come home from flying, the first thing your neighbors ask is "Did you crash?!?".[:@]

What's that box that you hold while you fly?

How much does this one cost? Re: Oh, about $2000. Mouth wide open.

Since Im 12 people in the hobby ask "Can you fly?" Re: Yes. Wheres your trainer?[&:]

And then "Isn't that GS Edge too much for you? After they see me 3d it they say "What plane is that? It looks pretty good."

I think the winner is "Oh, look at the cute toy airplane over there".

can you rent planes here or,"OH you dont have brakes after the engine stops?"(after landing a little long deadstick)

i hate it when some kid from school rides his Go-ped by and says its faster then my RC10GT when it obiviously is barly able to run. and then keeps coming back every day and says he made it go faster and wants a rematch

While trimming my F1G coupe (rubber power), this clown who's been trying to fly his plastic rtf trainer, walks over and asks "Is that just a 'rubber band' airplane?"[>:]

"How fast does it go? Can I try?" etc...

This might be irritating, but for Christ's sake, these people are newbies. They don't know any better. I really don't find it annoying, I find it amusing. I've performed freestyle demos at fullscale airshows, and I've heard it all. I'm glad that they're interested in the hobby. Acting elitist is a good way to scare people away.

What does annoy me, however, is when people say that I'm a natural. I don't mind when spectators at an airshow say it, because they don't know any better, but when other fliers say it I get pissed. I worked to be able to fly like I do, I wasn't born like this.
