The "Bill Robison Effect" eh? There's a new one, but I suppose it could be used. Anyone who wonders what you mean can go back and read the second post in this thread.

I enjoy building, whether from a kit or plans, I like true scratch building most of all but it's also the most time consuming so usually it's a kit or assembling an ARF. This part doesn't differ any great amount whether it's free flight, control line, or radio control. The cost can be low or high for any of them. You can spend $3000 on a free flight, or $300 on an R/C plane.

Which type I'll be involved with in a given location is what's popular in the area. If c/l is the thing, it's c/l. If r/c is the thing, guess what. Here r/c is king.

After I finish a plane I want to fly it and show off, among a group of like minded people. This way I have the companionship, and bottom line, I think I like the companionship as much (if not more) than the building and flying.

Bill.
