If you're losing interest because someone elses interests don't match your own, that kinda seems rather sad to me.[/QUOTE]
Yes it is sad, but I will not deny that it is the truth. Going to the field used to be much more of an adventure and our local clubs were fraternities of builders, designers, experimenters, competitors, artisans, craftsmen, innovators, etc. This has all but dried up and blown away, at least in this immediate area. This area used to be absolutely TEEMING with RC aviation activity with 5 extremely active AMA fields within a 30 mile circle.
Much of what I used to enjoy didn't come from just what I built and flew, but also from witnessing the accomplishments of others.
