i'M NOT PROMOTING CLOSED MEMBERSHIPS BUT, DID YOU EVER THINK THAT THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT A CAP ON THE MEMBERSHIP? I'M SURE PRIVATE ROAD MAINTENANCE AND SIMILAR SITUATIONS ARE GOOD REASONS IN THE OWNER'S EYES FOR DOING THIS. I DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT ANY CLUB WOULD DELIBERATELY HAVE A CAP CLAUSE TO RESTRICT MEMBERSHIP TO A PRIVILEDGED FEW. mODEL AVIATION IS REALLY GETTING COMPLICATED, WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT PLANE TO BRING TO THE FIELD. I DON'T WANT TI BRING THAT ONE CAUSE YOU KNOW WHO WILL START GRIPING OR IF I BRING THIS ONE I'LL BE LAUGHED RIGHT OFF THE FIELD CAUSE ITS GOT ONE OF THOSE FUNNY LITTLE "ELECTRIC" MOTORS INIT. TO ALL THIS I SAY GEE, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUN OF JUST FLYING YOUR PLANE AND ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY AND SHARING OUR COMMON INTEREST?......HAVING FUN!!!!! ENOUGH SAID. NAVEE8TOR
