RE: Changeing Times What Next
Well, I think the day when Parkflyers take their place in the hobby is here. They have their market share, and we, (gas clubs) are still standing.
What is yet to be seen; will the parkflyers graduate to gas? Will parkflyers lead our hobby to a boom ?
It doesn't take long to figure out that all of those batteries are expensive. And you know that every rookie goes through a phase when faster is better, and fastest is best. The need for speed and higher performance is a certainty in American culture. And we got it, baby !
No red blooded American male is going to settle for parkflyers. It ain't natural !!!
They tune their cars and hop them up. They hop up their computors. Every watch Nokki Tunnervision. The youth culture is/has been/ always will be about hopping up performance and customizing. Well, isn't that what RC is about ? Build it better, sleeker, faster, lighter, and more maneuverable. We are on the top of the mountain, on holy ground, the peak of performance and sooner or later, they will notice.
