Maybe so. Also as R/C left the "pioneer days", the competition gets tougher. To stay "on top" is hard to do, and requires continued ambition,drive, and commitment. It could be that pattern might have passed him by over time, and he moved on to new challenges, but he will always be the best known of the early trend setters and pioneers.
