The loss of builders certainly is disappointing, isn't it, Michael? I used to look forward to our Mall Show every year because you'd see what people built during the winter to fly the coming summer. Now it just looks like a trade show. I still enjoy building, but in our club it's mostly ARFs now, and most of those are electrics, which sound awful to me. Looking back, the 70s to the 90s was a real golden age for RC as a hobby. I never imagined how quickly those days would disappear. I have to say that some members have gotten into some pretty amazing electronics, but that's not what attracted me to the hobby; I'll keep doing what I do.
So enjoy your Kav, show us photos, and we'll just share online.
