I cannot argue with the longevity andf the ease of boats. I own a real 26 foot Bayliner so why not have a scale ship in the cabin. Planes are also very subject to weather so I will boat on the over 10mph wind days and fly the rest. And on many occasions, "and dont tell my wife this" I have done both. RC is a great hobby full of great poeple just lookin to have some fun.
