RE: Why not move on to R/C ?
Some of us are "modelers" and enjoy all forms of the hobby, U/C, F/F and R/C. May new modelers miss out on all the fun, going directly into R/C as that's what is the most visiable in the magazines and at the local fields. Afterall, it's a consumer driven business, just look at electric today as compared to one year ago. Many new modelers are sport pilots and not modelers. We have newbies locally that have to get someone else to put their BARFs together for them and fix them when they crash. They miss out on the fun of being creative, solving problems, learning the math of aeronautics, building, designing and dreaming!!!
