But RC Depot has turned their heli business into a quad/multicopter juggernaut!!
Once the good 'ol boys click at your local fields figure out how to interact with new people, you will be doing the hobby a great service.
So few of these guys want to even go to a field to fly. They think it is boring. I have flown with a couple of dozen different MR operators here in South County. Not a one of them is an AMA members or is interested in becoming one. They all have zero interest in joining a club either. So it is not clear to me how they are going to save our hobby. As far as being drone friendly, OCMA certainly is, and that is a good thing. Although I find it interesting that the field does not enforce the AMA requirement for a spotter when flying FPV, but I have not seen it as an issue either.
