R/C are undeniably awesome. They've come a seriously long way from the smaller models we played around with as kids. These days, they're incredible replicas with working engines and amazingly detailed parts. R/C planes have taken the same route. They're usually scale models of existing aircraft and they cost a ton to build and even more to buy already finished (but where's the fun in that?)
Check out this compilation of R/C plane crashes before you go buying your own and taking to the air. It'll remind you just how fragile and precious these works are!
