You know you're addicted to RC when...

When christmas guests ask for a tooth pick and you send them to your shop where they are handily kept for their proper use, plane repair.

When your five and two year old kids hum motor/prop noises instead of cartoon theme songs.

Driftin' with the wind...
here are some that may fracture your laughter valve:

...your teddy bear is an RC transmitter...
...picking your teeth with a prop after dinner...
...flossing your teeth with motor windings...

When the main function of your bedroom is to store all your hobby stuff, and you refuse to upgrade your cell phone because "I don't have the money for that", despite having just spent over $300 on a new plane...

Always looking at nature, thinking it must be awesome to fly a heli there :) rather than enjoying the view. (and realizing authorities won't allow you to fly there anyway...)

When you ask your co-workers if you can go home to fly your RC plane. They tell you that you can after work. You point out that it's dark out when you're done with work. ... Then it dawns on you to get into another aspect of the hobby: night flying.

Buying LEDs might be in my future.

...When you almost hit your neighbor's house trying to takeoff in the street.
...When you almost hit your neighbor when you crash in their yard.
