RE: Are you getting tired also?
Hey, I don't think anyone is trying to tell anyone else what to fly![>:] Lighten up a little. It's a comment on how things seem to all be the same every where! I visit some web sites showing events and I am disappointed when most of the planes seem to be alike. That's my problem, not theirs. Everybody gets chips knocked off shoulders too easily! It just a comment on seeing very little new stuff. I think it's as simple as that.
Of course, this opinion is my very own and should not be attributed to any, otherwise, sane individual[8D]

RE: Are you getting tired also?
GrnBrt, Im with you.
IMHO people flying 3d stuff aren't doing it to "improve" their skills, anyone can go out and mix the sticks on a larger scale 3d aerobat and make things look good with a little gumption, shoot; I've flown some gaint scale aerobatic planes before that weren't mine, nor do I have any and thought they were "easyer" to fly then alot of 40 sized airplanes, Personally I don't care about watching anything like an extra fly around unless its scale, and doing scale box patterns, and come to think of it how many "Scale" caps and extras do you see?

I see a lot of people at the field who care way way too much what others are flying like the original poster. Problem is they're more than happy to tell you their opinion -

Why do I have the feeling that "the original poster" is going to have photos of a very different Berkelys' Aeronca C-3 or something soon?

RE: Are you getting tired also?
Though my favorite type of flying is giant scale 3D/IMAC type aerobatics, I still love
to watch other types of planes fly such as warbirds, combat planes, jets, and other scale
planes, especially the giant scale ones. To me the key is diversity, especially when it
comes to airshows. For example in an airshow, too much of any one type of flying or plane
whether it be 3D/IMAC or giant scale warbirds might eventually get boring if that is all you
see the entire time. It is good to see an occasional mix of other types of flying and planes.
It sickens me to see someone in the hobby who critisizes a particular style of flying just
because it is not his cup of tea. The ongoing feud between wardbird flyers and aerobatic guys
is childish. We should learn to appreciate diversity and other's style of flying. If you get tired
of seeing a certain type of plane or style of flying, then its up to you to bring something different
to the table. It might catch on.

How are scale planes different or origional? Trainers? People will bias their opinions whichever way they want. I personally don't see how building the same ol' P-51 or Super Cub you did 40 years ago and flying it in a left hand curcular pattern can be any more sickeningly stale that seeing a large scale aerobat? This whole thread is one big oxymoron. And so you know...I fly neither scale aircraft nor large aerobats. I'm just an outsider lookin' in.

Gotta tell you guys..........This place is getting so petty[X(]
Been gone a while and I lurk around but rarely post anymore. This thread is the paradox of this whole freakin site. When this thread goes south, who is gonna close it down since a moderator started it? Why the heck did a moderator start such a baiting thread in the first place? Moderators are free to say whatever they want, but don't they have a responsibility too. This thread is destined to become more controversial and take a bad turn.
Fly what you want, look at what you want, build what you want, buy what you want, just have a good time. If you gotta ***** about something then ***** about taxes, which is not allowed here on RCU..........get the hint!
Jeez, I can't believe I posted at this place again!!!!!!!!!!! I'm such a FAG!

This is all I do when I go to the feild! I just hover all day long. Right over the runway too. I know the circle flyer types just love that! It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! You guys should try it sometime, it's easy to do, and I never get bored with it.

Capthis,
I like the way that thing hovers in such a scale like manner. I was at Oshkosh this past july/august....lots of full scale birds doing just that. Not nearly that low of course. Must really take some skill.

Actually with a little device called a gyro, and some neat photo shop tricks you can fly just like that.
Anybody else see the sarcasm in my post?? I hope so. This hobby is about flying planes, and having fun. But the most important thing I have taken from it was meeting, and making new friends.
Sure there are lots of Imac planes around but so what. There are twice as many trainer type planes. I personally don't give a rats hind end if you can fly well, or what you fly. What does it matter?? Jeesh people lighten up a little!

Capthis, that is so COOL!!! One of these days I hope my skills will be good enough to allow me to do that! How many hours do you practice a week to keep your skills that sharp?

RE: Are you getting tired also?
I think some may be looking for an argument. I went back and read Art's original post and I did not see where he was complaining about a flying style or bashing IMAC planes. All I got from the post was that he was tired of seeing so many of the same planes. Nothing about restricting what anyone else wants to do, just a statement of where his interests lay.

RE: Are you getting tired also?
That's what I stated in my post and it went right over everyones head. What the heck is the problem with someone hoping to see a little more variety! It's clear having a suggestion or an opinion is grounds for everyone to tell you to "shutup if you don't like it" even if you didn't say that, "mind your own business" when you were not telling anyone what to do and lots of other dumb responses!
Please do not suggest anything or express an opinion. Too many people just cannot handle it.[8D]
(oops, that was an opinion. Sorry, uh........I take it back)

It seems a couple of ProBro's would like to stir things up. You guys have hardly been around since the big walkout and your threatening to leave?

RE: Are you getting tired also?
Totally unbelievable some of the answers I am reading. Now for those of you with a bit of comperhension problems let me say again that I have nothing against these kind of planes and if that's what you want to fly then knock yourself out. What I am saying is that I would like to see something else out there at the field, you seen one Cap arf, extra arf etc etc you have seen them all. Someone mentioned seeing a lot of P-51's and such but I see that a bit different if you built it yourself and did it up in a different color scheme then say the 'Big Beautiful Doll', yes I have seen enough of those also. I ask what I feel is a simple question and I'm called a Troll, come on get real and a moderator is allowed to make a thread as well any other member, Jeez Louise!

RE: Are you getting tired also?
I wonder what will be left in the end if everybody doesn't like Extra's, Profiles, 3D, Sticks, Warbirds, kits, scratch builders, helicopters, jets or ARF's.
A bunch of diatribes on RCUNIVERSE
oh, and electric autogyros.....sorry Red left you out there for a minute.
I will agree with the Poster though, When I go to fly ins or shows all I see is pretty much the same style airplanes. BUT I will say they fly the tar out of them where as I LOVE TO go to a Scale or warbird Fly In to see the detail and different designs but they should really call them Sit-Ins because nobody hardly flies and if they do it's around the pattern and then a landing followed by 2 weeks worth of repair to a damage gear system
