The devices don't bother me. Yes, I agree that they will ultimately delay a person from learning true flight skills. For some, it may take some of the satisfaction out of the hobby since they don't have to master handling the wind or getting the perfect setup. Some may leave the hobby because they get bored. But others will use it as a stepping stone to more challenging models. They may wind up putting the electronic training wheels on those models too, but why do I care? If they are out flying they are just as much a part of the hobby as I am. And if they are spending money, they are keeping the businesses that I like afloat. We have many things to complain about, but gadgets that make it easier for beginners aren't one of them.
