RE: bind N fly
To follow the tangent the opjose just started, BNF seems to get a lot of people off on the wrong foot in the hobby. They are presented as easy planes to set up and get flying, which leads at least some beginners to think that they are also easy to fly. I know there's no way to measure it, but I do wonder how many prospective RC flyers have bought something like a BNF P51 only to crash it immediately and then leave the hobby because they had a bad first experience.
