I was just saying that today the millinium child just wants to buy an electric foamy where he can just take it out of the box and fly it.
I agree with you 100% that
most kids don't have the, patience, skill or desire to build a Balsa plane from scratch.
Trying to get them into this hobby that way simply will not work..
I've been in this hobby since 1975,,, that hasn't changed a bit, it was true when I started and is true today, what's changed is ARFs make our hobby available to those people. Most kids haven't changed,, what's changed is how much other stuff they can get in to besides model airplanes. All the years I've been in the hobby there have always been guys (adults) that didn't build either, they bought built planes or had guys build them for them,,
Making general statments are generally inacurate,
