Pat,

You must be the author of "Zen and The Art of Flying Models." Work for the sake of work...I agree. And where I fly, the guys with experience support the newbies and everyone enjoys the learning process.

Yet, there are always the guys whose fathers didn't love them enough...when these guys are on the field, you want every input on a gyro or autopilot. It's unchivalrous to gloat over a $2,000+ pile of broken balsa... and snickering at an ugly takeoff will not achieve enlightenment, Grasshopper. Wouldn't you agree? Don't always have to fly with the training wheels just cause they're on board.

Respectfully,

Rick
