The last 3 years has been miserable.My home
field has become a battleground between the ''fly around in circles'' crowd and the ''aerobatics,3d,helicopter and
jet'' crowd.I fly everything from a stick,pattern planes,war birds,and yes the dreaded aerobatics and 3d birds.
The field is so divided that we park\pit on opposite ends,its really sad.We are considered the dangerous out of
control flyers,but truth be told more accidents seem to happen on the other end.We (the 3d\heli\jet side) are
constantly harrassed and threatened with being banned,there is an eagle eye on every flight we make.
I find those in the hobby that put forth such attitudes, and cause such animosity, to be horrible for the hobby (ie, the 'circle' crowd trying
to ban all other stuff). What makes those guys that way? What is the average age of the 'fly around in circles' crowd? Is it really just
the grumpy old guys? Or is there something else to it?
