RE: The times, they are a changin! Say it ain't so Joe?
I have been flying for about 6 years now. It has been a lot of fun. I have built a few kits. Mostly .40 size. I am now working on a plan built plane. I really enjoy the building side of the hobby. I do most of my flying on a small private field. I do also fly at a club field. We have a very small group that fly on a regular basis. Most weekends there is only 4-9 people at the field. We do have a couple of younger flyers. I'm teaching my 10 year old to fly. We also had his cub scout pack come out for a day of buddy boxing. It was a lot of fun teaching the younger kids about planes and flying.
The hobby is not dying. But rather just going through a change.
