What's RC Airplane World all about?
In a nutshell, this website is all about promoting the hobby of radio control, particularly flying.
The information contained within never gets too technical - it's intentionally kept at a basic level so that anyone who knows nothing about rc, but would like to get involved, can understand the grass roots of this great (and very popular, exhilarating and addictive!) pastime.
Who's responsible for the site?
That would be me, Pete Carpenter. You can read all about my interest in radio control and flying right here.
Can I buy stuff from here?
RC Airplane World is affiliated with (or 'Associated with') a few commercial shopping websites, the principle one being Red Rocket Hobby Shop in Oregon, USA.
That means that I link to products sold by them; the products mentioned throughout this website are not held by me. So, if you click a product link within RC Airplane World, the chances are that you'll go to Red Rocket Hobby Shop's website, or possibly somewhere else. If you go on and make a purchase, you'll be buying from them, not me.
Matt and Tara, owners of Red Rocket Hobby Shop, are close friends of mine and it's with great pleasure that I can refer my site visitors to them and help support their business.
Where can I get more product/shipping information?
From the store that the link took you to; more than likely that'll be the aforementioned Red Rocket Hobby Shop. Please don't use my contact form for this purpose, thanks!
So RC Airplane World isn't a store, then?
Just to clarify - no, it's not! It's merely affiliated with a few places, as mentioned above.
What happens if I click a link within the site?
Well, first off, it won't cost you anything!
Throughout the site are product links to the aforementioned hobby stores, clicking these will simply send you through to their websites.
The other links that you'll see across the site are the 'Ads by Google'. These are just the same kind of ads that you see down the right hand side of the search results page when you use Google.com. They are hosted by Google and will always take you through to another site, which should be RC or model related but nothing to do with RC Airplane World.
How can I contact the owner of RC Airplane World?
Easy - use the form on this page, thanks!
Can I advertise on RC Airplane World?
Yes, you can! If you want to advertise your site, see this page.
How often is the site updated?
Pretty much on a daily basis. New content is always being added, or existing content updated accordingly. If you happen to stumble across any content that's embarrassingly out of date, please let me know!
Can I add my own content?
Yes, you can! You can tell us about your models, share the pain of a crash, submit a product review, or ask an rc related question. All those options are accessible here. Oh, and you can also join the RC Airplane World forum for friendly, rc related chit-chat.
Is the site country-specific?
The site is geared towards North America, but it has information that will help you get started in rc flying wherever you are in the world. A lot of rc related stuff is fairly universal. Where things do differ between countries (eg rc frequency control) I've done my best to separate the information accordingly.
I see you've got some 'testimonials', why? And are they genuine?
A large amount of work has gone into this website, and every now and again a visitor will compliment me on the nature and style of the site, as well as the information that I provide. Such feedback is always great to receive, and it reminds me that I really am helping people to get into this great hobby!
All the comments are completely genuine, and have been posted just to show new visitors what some previous visitors have thought of the site 
I was hoping these were rc related FAQ, are there any?
But of course!
I've answered some common 'getting started' questions, you can find them for flying here, for cars here and for boats here.
