Some of the best terms ;) as seen on T-shirts/ etc. Some are mine, but I won't admit to which ones.......only the clean ones are here.

Canopies: What you would even eat after being on the field all day with no food.

Center of Gravity: The point at which G-Forces, dedicated to separating wing from fuselage..do their stuff.

Cockpit: Too easy...fill in your own punchline here...

Crash: Quick method of removing the radio and engine from one aircraft to fit into the next one.

Engine: Device designed to make noise, then stops making noise when you are lower than glide-in height.

Epoxy: The stuff that replaces balsa as the flying season progresses.

Flying Wing: What you see after pulling too tight a loop.

Foamie: What you get when you drop your beer can.

Frequency: The number of times you count losing your plane.

Fuel Tank: A Plastic Bottle designed to leak in the most inaccessible area.

Nosewheel: The implement used to remove firewall from plane.

Pilot: The little plastic guy in your plane who you wish would tell you the retracts are not locked down.

Propeller: Handy tool used to clip fingernails....fingers......knuckles......tendon.......bone....

Swept area: The area in your workshop not covered in balsa dust.

Tail-Dragger: an RC pilot who has spent an hour looking for his plane lost in the woods.

Trainer: What a flight student uses to carve his initials into trees with. Can also be used to dig small holes.

Tree: Handy tool used for quick separation of wing from plane.

Wing: Device that, due to it's airfoil, allows air to flow faster over the top, giving you the opportunity to pour excess money into the resulting low pressure area.

Anyone have any good ones to add?

Dual Rates- 2 receipts- Receipt #1 has a lower doctored price for that new airplane and engine that the guy behind the counter at the Hobby Shop made for showing the wife. Receipt #2 is the one that is hidden in a safe place that has the real price you paid for that new airplane and engine! Dual Rates can also be The sudden change in your wife's mood from Calm to Ballistic after she finds out how much you spent on that new airplane and engine.

I see this is a pretty old thread but I thought I'd add one in anyway. :)
