RE: Every wish you could just fly and avoid all the politcal BS?
I'm not talking about that kind of crap, behavior like you described from the "old farts" has no place in any club. That would NOT be tolerated here. I suppose I might qualify as an "old fart", I am 49 years old, and have been modeling since I was 6 years old. [X(] Not all "old farts" are that way, I fly helis, I fly 3D stuff with planes, etc, etc.
Where I have a beef is with people who never help with anything, yet they are the first in line to complain when this or that isn't done to their liking. They like to fly off the nicely mowed field, yet they are never available to help make it so. They like to attend the funflys, but when asked to help out running the transmitter impound, they have something else to do.
