Talk about the chicken and egg! The bad thing about flying fields is that they are easy to get for the electric flyer IF he has a club to 'hide' behind.

The way to get the VG into the game is to encourage the development of e birds which generally don't have the noise issues many fight. There are 2 or 3 steps in that line that are not easy.

First is making e flight common enough that the power questions can be answered by the 'average joe' at the field WITHOUT MOTOCALC! The second is to make e flight common enough that the guys with high dollar birds don't sneer at the e flyers. That is beginning to happen today with the LiPo cells making the e flyer more than flash in the pan. The third is to get the e flyers to join and become active in clubs. Hard to do when AMA membership and club membership for a year is more than the cost of some e birds.

Wonder how Dave will answer this one.
