"Hi, my name's Curtis Enlow and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to plan, setup and equip a work area for radio controlled models. Ok, let's say you've got your model all put together. You spent weeks on it, educated yourself as to its operation, you've followed every training regiment and still something just isn't working right. What do you do then? If you bought it at a local hobby shop, that's usually a real good place to go. There's usually not only the owners and the people who work there are usually experts in their field, but often there's people just hanging out. Its kind of a fun place to hang out. You hear a lot of stories, you talk about different aspects of you hobby with different people. Its really quite a social circle. So that's one place to go. If you buy your model online and you don't know anybody around who flies helicopters or whatever your hobby is, then online is a really good resource. There are at least four or five discussion groups for RC helicopters alone that I can think of. And there's often a great number of people who are more than willing to help you out and give you some great advice on dealing with issues with your models, especially helicopters. They are very precise, very technological models and they can cause you a lot of fits. So don't be afraid to checkout online discussion groups, they're a great resource when you start having problems."
