RE: Is modeling becoming too diverse?
LCS: Yep. Pretty predictable response.
Actually Mr. Stickbuilder, I spent a total of 10 minutes "researching" that while I ate lunch. It's not difficult or time comsuming to find and paste examples of your false sense of superiority. You ask " What does that garbage have to do with diversity"? Quite a bit actually. People of your ilk do not promote diversity, you stifle it.
You say I have a problem with builders. What is a builder? I have built kits in the past. Does that make me a builder or am I disqualified in your eyes because I own and fly ARFs also. Does the possession and enjoyment of ARFs make me impure and unworthy? I feel so .... dirty now.
30 minutes after I posted I was at the field alternately flying my Sukhoi, training a newbie and visiting with my flying buddies until well after dark. Great day thank you. Hmmm. Think I'll do it again today. Or maybe I should stay in my shop and burn all my ARFs with "rotton glue joints and unacceptable hardware" since I " have no interest in how to trim or balance the model to make it into a good flyer."
Yeesh.
