As somebody earlier noted, diversity is growth. When you specialize and concentrate on one single aspect, that is stagnation. Stagnation is non-growth. Isn't non-growth a kind of death?

My current fleet includes a number of model rockets, including a couple FF and RC boost gliders, three Jetex FF models, several indoor FF rubber powered models, including one ornithopter and two helicopters, Outdoor rubber duration, sport, and scale FF, several hand launched and tow line gliders, over 20 various CL models, and over 20 RC models, including electric and fuel powered, with three electric helicopters. Most are kit or scratch built, with a small mix of ARF. No time to stagnate, no time to become bored.

In fact, this summer I became very happy to find out I can still fly a full tank on a .35 powered profile Shoestring without falling over. I was worried about this after having a stroke in 2005. Hopefully by the last FF contest this year I will be back in competitive form for throwing a hand-launched glider.

Funny, I was able to fly RC immediately after getting out of the hospital. All the other forms required regaining motor skills. Does that say something about which form is more challenging?

Vive la diversity!!!
