I believe this is good idea for many reasons. It gets people of similar interests together whether it's driving or flying....it's all r/c. I started out with cars/trucks/boats.....then saw these things that flew and made awesome sounds...and made me smile...now I have a hangar full. I still avidly build cars/trucks but seldom participate in any racing or similar events. If we had a track here I know of at least a dozen folks who would come. Next thing you know they will be watching these "other" guys flying planes and get interested....just how I see it panning out. Of course there will always be folks who just drive cars and folks who just fly...turns out they are both good people who love r/c. I play hockey with 2 cops, 6 construction workers, 4 miners, 2 business men, and an insurance salesman....what do all of us have in common? We all play hockey. Same rule applies for r/c. Many walks of life in this hobby with different agendas but one goal in mind...to have fun with r/c. I say let em in and make new friends. Heck you may find out that driving one of their cars is quite fun.

Just my outlook,
Kevin
