I for one am glad that RC isn't on TV now.

Could you imagine just for a second, the instant increase in money it would take to compete in ANY form of RC?

Here we have the #126 DuPont Ford Dealer Extra 300XS being flown by Joe Smith. He's brought 10 of these 48% airplanes to the field today and would like to thank his sponsors. Notice his new live computer downlink that tracks all of his servo speeds, engine temperatures, directions, altitude, airspeed, and bowel movement times. This event, the Tampax Aerobatic Challenge, is brought to you by Subway.

It's bad enough as it is already! Look at the XFC, how many sponsored pilots were there, or TOC, or even the NATS?

I do wish they would show more IAC competitions or the Haute Voltige on TV though. You have to already be a millionaire (or sponsored) just to afford hangar space for those beasts! (well maybe not but you know how expensive they are).
