My main interest in scale comes from seeing the old Cox C/L planes flying at parks, many years ago. While not particularly interested in the full-scale counterparts, I considered the models as a form of recreation on a pleasant summer evening. Those little two-strokes and the smell of that caster oil always got my interest. Since I don't fly, I don't consider it as being worthwhile to model an actual full-scale aircraft, but I do see utility in some scale models, like a Citabria with a cabin large enough for a video system. I may consider upgrading to a video downlink, so I can take advantage of its usefulness. One example would be scouting a cornfield for a downed plane. I'm not a builder in any sense of the word, I don't even like building an ARF. But, that's what I have to do in order to enjoy my time at the sticks. Maybe I should take up boating or snowmobiling...
