"If we would just say “I had a great time building this plane and it sure flies good too...would you like to go to the park and see it fly?" I think our hobby, as well as the sport aspects, would grow as well".

Building is every bit (actually more fun) as flying for me. I know this and many others do, too. I'm trying very hard to relate this to other members in my club, by promoting the building aspect of R/C. Some take to it and some don't even consider. It's their loss.
