College kids yes, most are idiots. ..
I have to disagree with jester_s1 on this one. ''Most'' are not idiots, and your statement makes you sound like an unhappy old fart - but i don't think you are.
I learned way back when on a very structured protocol with the club pres (late '70s). I don't think I flew a loop for almost a year. In contrast, I have seen new guys learn in days what it took me years - I have a friend who started attending our indoor fly-ins. He taught himself to fly indoors (not easy!), now flies aerobatics and combat with us and he has never worked with an instructor nor has he ever been to a hobby shop. Sounds like a ''college idiot''....but wait, he's over 50.

I don't think his statement had anything to do with rc, just that most college kids think they are sooo smart whether they are or not.
