You test model airplanes at an airport. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL HAHAHA
How about a wind tunnel?
****
It all depends on what kind of model airplane you want to test:
- If you have a large, heavy R/C airplane, then you want to bring it to a local R/C club and have an experienced pilot give it a pre-flight checkover, perform a trim flight, and teach you how to fly in safe environment.
- If you have a light free flight model airplane, then the best place to test it is over tall grass. That way your model can land with minimal damage while you make trim adjustments.
- If you have a scale engineering prototype, then sure, a wind tunnel is the place that you want to test design parameters
Under no circumstances should you fly a model airplane at an airport. Duh!!!!!! (unless, of course, you have an indoor free flight model and don't mind attracting the attention of all the other passengers plus the security guards)
People use model airplanes because they like airplanes or the look of them.

People have airplanes to get from place to place faster, to get to inaccessible places, and to fight battles.
One can purchase older plastic model airplanes from many different stores. Some examples of stores with older plastic model airplanes include HobbyLinc and eBay.
That depends very much what organisation is doing the testing.

Fun and entertainment
Pretty much any place that sells model airplanes, cars, etc. will carry it. I've seen it at Wal-mart.
You can purchase model RC RFT airplanes online by visiting http://searchrc.horizonhobby.com. The prices for these plains range from $75.00 and up. Enjoy your model.

RC model airplanes are just one of the styles and various brands of radio controlled models. For a selection of RC flying machines complete with pictures check out http://www.nitroplanes.com for RC model airplanes, jets and helicopters.
