Running into each other is very hard to do given their size and the space they fly in. My father was a model airplane builder and flyer in a flying club. I remember asking him about the same question when they flew multiple planes in the same area. His answer was that is was extremely hard to do and to prove it every once in awhile they would send a few planes up and actually try to hit one another...never did it.

Running into birds is even harder since the bird has something to say about it
