Angry WTH? Long time coming back.. so confused

Afternoon,

Turning to this board as I remembered it from a long time ago. I haven't flown RC in about 20 years. Thought about getting back in to..really throwing my hands up here. I visited my local shops (that was a bust) then I went to the usual suspects online. The hobby looks NOTHING like it used to.

- Shops dried up
- Clubs far and few between
- Online sites have seriously changed their inventory
- Planes are disappointing, everything seems plastic and foam
- Electric? Really? (ugh) .is glow and Gas even around? Seems like nothings available.
- Hardly any kits, building etc. (much less doping, seems extinct). Monokote at $24 a roll?!?

I finally move out of the city into the country on 400 acres with nothing around for miles and hoped to grab a few plans tor old time sake and I'm just left speechless. Then I read some FAA none sense that apparently is complicating things. Should I just move on? Just not what I thought I was coming back to. Don't mean to be a negative Nancy, just disappointment.

Any help appreciated (PS I'm looking to fly solo on my property in the middle of no where, clubs aren't really my thing anymore).
