I have to agree with slg1. All through these forums I read about how you need to join a club and get an instructor. Many, as I did, teach themselves and are constantly put down for being so arrogant as to believe they should be able to teach themselves. We see clubs that look down on "parkfliers" and aren't interested in the "looks" we would get. Then we are told that most aren't like that and we could find a good one. Now, here, out in the open, you explain how you run for cover when "noobies" show up with their sorry despicable excuses for airplanes. You fuss about using up your time on us, time you could fly. You fuss about having to take the time to teach us something and if only we were already knowledgeable about this stuff, it would save you time. Then you make the comment that we WANT SOMEONE TO GIVE US SOMETHING!!!!!!!! And, we have the attitude problem and should feel lucky to get the help. You then say these guys are great because of how many "noobies" they taught!? You are just going to have to get used to us "parkfliers" out here, flying on our own. You have now made it clear we would be a big bother to you! Who wants that? Not me.

On another thought, some are worried about the "parkfliers" on 72mhz....hey, they have been like that for some time now! Most of the guys I know who bought RTF's have quickly junked the electronics and put "real" radios in their planes. I did that a couple years ago. About two months after buying my first RTF. That means there have been a ton of 72 mhz park fliers out there for some time now. These new ones won't make much difference. I am a member of AMA for what it does for the hobby. However, I have no need of any club even close to the ones I have been reading about on this and other forums! Most seem to be just a bunch of over grown kids wanting to push their weight around with club politics! There is always a group who wants to run everything their way only and another group who wants to kick their butts out! Then they start making petty little rulings to make some one mad or to get some one else to quit. Who wants any of this crap? I will find a friend or two and go find an open field and just fly! I fly all electric, foamies, balsa and monokote, sticks, you name it, fast and slow! I sure don't want to be a bother.

Oh, and you with the big dollar planes, whether you like it or not, I have the same right to use these freqs as you! Sorry about that.
