...and golf, tennis, any type of racing (actual channels dedicated to it), basketball, soccer, even rockets aren't boring to watch after a while?? (Oh boy, they go up, they come down.....whew, must admit after 3 hours, it was 'ok.....that's enough of that!! )
I guess it's all what you're interested in. (note, not bashing any of the above, just a fact....not too thrilling to watch unless your 'into' it)
Personally, I find it facinating to watch anything fly!! Granted, that's just me. But if you infuse a program with something more than..."Ooooo, let's watch the model airplane buzzzzzzz around in circles for an hour", then ya might be on to somethin'. Sport pilot actually makes a good point. You could tie in some other things, show the great 'community' of RC aeromodelers, the different facets of the sport/hobby, LOTS of Jets and 3D of course , styled scale and warbirds. Dip into the history of model aviation, into the AMA, their facilities/events (sure the brass would love the chance to show off all our great new investments ) Long story short, contrary to nay-sayers, there IS a way this could work. You just have to imagine!! [8D]
