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.

Your an Obama fan no doubt.
I don't know anyone who knows ''most'' college kids nor what ''most'' think. I don't even think I know what ''most'' rc guys think.

Haha, just my opinion chill out lol. You wouldn't happen to be in college would you?

Just kidding. I didn't say anything about what most ''think'' I said I think most think they are smarter than they are, from having college education or just the general age idk but that's my opinion. Just in case you took it wrong I didn't mean I think college doesn't make you any smarter or isn't a great thing to go to, because it does and is but it doesn't always make you as smart as some of them think they are is all I mean't.
