I flew my two Strykers at a club that has mainly guys with jet turbines and giant scale gassers. After they saw how fast, and how well my "foamies" flew, a couple weeks later a bunch of them had Strykers too! I like to keep my Strykers in one piece, but many of them now enjoy flying full contact combat with them!

When it comes down to it, all of our RC planes are just expensive toys for big boys. When you think about it, does it make sense that some guy who spent $2K - $10K on his "toy" plane has a right to criticize you for playing with your $100 "toy" plane? If you ask some of the wives, or someone not in this hobby, I think they'd think the guy that spent $2K-$10K was nuts.
