Always be vigilant, listen out, and any spectators there should call out that a full size aircraft is in the immediate area, never, try to manouever away from the full size aircraft. It is advisable to land your model in the appropriate manner. |

Q. How many pilots does it take to change a light bulb?
A. None. It's done by the auto pilot.
Q.: How do you know when your date with an rc pilot is half over?
A.: He says, "but enough about me - wanna hear about my plane?"
Q. How many pilots does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Just one. He holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience usually comes from bad judgment
Q. - How do you know if there is a pilot at your party?
A. - He'll tell you.
A male pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman.
It is said that two wrongs do not make a right, but two wrights do make an aeroplane.
A "good" landing is one from which you can walk away. A "great" landing is one after which the airplane can still be used.
A man walks into a bar and asks for some helicopter crisps. "Sorry" says the barman, "we only do plane" (thank you Neville the first contributor to the jokes section!)
Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
A nun, a priest, an Irishman, a Scotsman, a rabbi and a blonde walk into a bar.
The bartender looks at them and asks, "Is this some kind of joke?!"
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to the society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
— George Bernard Shaw
Why do we say we slept like a baby when they wake up every two hours?
An rc flyer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The rc flyer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the rc flyer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The rc flyer said, "Look I'm a pilot. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
