The term "Traditional Modeling" would seem to refer to the "traditional skills" involved with modeling. A modicum of building, some understanding of the processes involved in flight and the ability to apply aforementioned skill-set to the successful flight of a radio controlled model. The industry seems to be moving away from this template. So be it. Those of us that think of ourselves as "Traditional" need to get over it. We are a dying breed and that is unlikely to change.
It does seem that the current industry model is oriented toward those with a few $$$ and some X-BOX skills. Not hard to find in today's crop of youngsters.
Mores the pity. Just my $0.02 worth.
