RE: Is modeling becoming too diverse?
Horrace,
Wherein does the fault lie? I have tried (without much success) to get some newbies interested in learning to build. As soon as they find out that there will be several weeks or even several days involved in the process, they are out. The usual response that I get is that I want it, RIGHT THE HECK NOW!!!. I don't have time to learn this useless crap. Even those who already have some kind of model (either one that they have bought from a half fast builder or a factory built ARF) and it flies poorly, have no interest in how to trim or balance the model to make it into a good flyer. I do get the guy who wants me to adjust it for him, and he is happy to pay me to do it for him. Again, wherein lies the fault? As I replied in an earlier post, It's hard to fill a closed container.
