RE: Handwriting on the wall?
Wow! Looks like it struck a nerve!
I like the reassuring, optimistic view expressed by RCKen however, I rather sadly believe the future lies in how jlsimon said it best...
I'm just over the hill so if my eyesight, reflexes, and overall health can remain stable enough for me support and fly glow powered models (small and large) another nineteen years without decline, I'll be happy. At some point I suppose I'll have to resort to geezer stands to start-up engines but for now I'm proud to say I can still get off the ground without causing a hernia.
