Well if you cannot understand why one sometimes may like to enjoy a quite flight with their old sticks (now made legal with 2.4) much in the same manner that Jay Leno would like a nice ride around the block with his Stanly Steamer, Then I certainly am not about to try to explain it however nostalgia has a viable place in our beloved hobby/sport.

Now concerning up to date heck yes I currently own and operate Three Prism7C's, Three Eclipse 7's, three Aurora 9's and two Futaba 14SG's All of which are 2.4. Two of these are specifically modified for use in controlline flying for throttle and other functions.. Oh boy I can hear it already.

Currently beside my my glow and gas stuff I am happily enjoying Three turbine aircraft one of which is a controlline turbine. So make no mistake I do enjoy high tech stuff . Am particularly thrilled with the new cordless buddy systems as are my students. So just remember someday someone may ridicule you for enjoying something vintage, and then you will understand.
