Radio Controlled Helicopters are, without a doubt, one of the most
dangerous hobbies one can undertake.

However, you will also find RC Helicopter builders/flyers some of the
most safety concious people you will ever meet.  I have never met one
yet that did not fully understand what they were involved in, the
dangers involved, and the safety proceedures to be adheered to.

Be stupid, and you will be immediately kicked off the flying field.
There is zero acceptance of idiocy in that hobby at established flying
sites.

These are incredibly difficult machines to fly, and like GPL, you
develop a great sense of accomplishment and pride when you get good at
it.

It is not a hobby for the weak of heart or weak of dollar.  They are
expensive, and you _will_ break them and have to rebuild them.

Nothing beats the satisfaction gained after mastering the Nose-In Hover,
the most difficult manuever there is in RC flying :)
