Thanks guys for a pleasant discussion. I truely hope that some good comes from this one and other discussions where the name calling isn't over whelming. I gotta tell ya as a park flyer I get rather insensed by some posters that referr to us as fads or worse.
Thanks again.

In my eyes Models are Models, and the fact that you fly a Park Flyer is no different than any other type of Flying. I have actually enjoyed them all from building Free Flight Planes, then onto Rubber Band Power which I thought was just awesome. Me and my Brother had a Rubber Band powered plane that used to take about a half hour to whind up by hand. We then got smart and started using a drill. Gentle Lady Gliders were the thing for awhile, and I loved those old plastic Cox control line Planes I had. Those were a ball! I know fly mainly RC, but I own everything from small electrics up to 1/4 scale nitros! I just enjoy them all, and at different points in time each was just as important to me as the other. Model Aviation in any form is all about enjoyment and doing what you enjoy doing!
