Used to fly RC gliders regularly at 2000 feet in the 90's with my dad. Great times, but never near airports. Of course you couldn't just go on Amazon and buy an RTF easy to fly machine at that time. You had to go to a hobby store and spend 2 - 3 months building it.. from scratch. I'm talking putting the wing together piece by piece. Then you had to know someone who already knew how to fly to teach you, or you crash your expensive glider that you spent the last 2 months building. As time went on you could then by kits that had the wing and such prebuilt. Then as the internet caught on people's attention spans dwindled. RTF started to be come more a thing. Then as time went on more, people didn't have the attention span to fly a 4 channel RC plane, let alone a 6 channel collective pitch helicopter. Then vuala you get quadcopters.
