"I'm sure this must of been an issue before hand with just R/C Aircraft, cars" [sic]

It wasn't a problem before, because R/C vehicles were much more expensive, and much less capable.

Twenty years ago a remote control helicopter cost the best part of $2000, required the owner to assemble it all, and was at least as difficult to fly as a full sized machine. These days you can spend less than £100 on something which will outclass it in every way, whilst also being flyable by an amateur, and probably with an autopilot.

PS, it's "must have been", not "must of been"
