RE: Do you consider checkbook modellers to be second class citizens?
Nope---No problems with this guy!!! Knows his limitations, seems to have a guardian angel by his side if needed, sounds like a nice guy!!!
The Basin sounds like an awfull place. We used to have a similar place in Memphis called "Goin' to Market". It was a large empty parking lot that was used at times for flea markets. There were no rules, no manners....No kidding!!! Guys would take off and land in any direction they pleased. Your head had better be on a swivel. There were as manny planes in the air as the frequencies would allow. (This was before we had our current frequencies....Remember the colored frequencies?!?!?!) Guys that were pissed off at each other would shoot each other down. PITTYFUL!!! What finally stopped the flying there was due to a couple of guys putting planes through a few roofs as commercial and residential development took place. Man, the carnage there was unbelievable!!! I never flew there but watched in utter amazement how these guys didn't kill each other.....
