If we do not get involved with this new technology and help the GP understand that it's not all bad then we will all suffer the consequences. Like others have said I could care less about all the other disciplines of modeling outside of RC planes but would never dream of saying they have no place in the hobby. Many of our clubs older members are enjoying their so called drones, as well as their scratch built airplanes. Technically any remote controlled aircraft is a drone
Honestly it's the " new technology" ( your words) crowd that should to join our ranks. Now they could form their own organization if they wish.
They have been invited now lets see if they come.Personally I don't see it happening but time will tell.
Burying my head, no sir I'm well aware they are out there and they pose a threat my my hobby..
