I'll buy a set of those the instant they're for sale.
Hey you know what ? That's outstanding, about time really someone had the courage to state an opinion not "pop culture", trendy, whatever it'd be called.
Some fliers just aren't into that and I'm one of them, airplanes or heli's. There is no question that it takes a lot of practice ,a lot of co-ordination and skills to fly 3-D in what would be a manner that would be graded well in a competition. But so what ? I could care less about watching someone rest the rudder of their plane or whatever on some bodily extremity. Again, sure it takes a lot of skill we know that but so would standing on your head on top of a phone pole while pee'ing into a shot glass on the ground. I don't want to watch it and I don't want to learn it.
It reminds me of the stupendously dumb sport of "freestyle motocross" which has negatively influenced a sport I've been doing all my life.I don't want to watch or learn it either and wouldn't if I WAS still 20. (I wish).
I've had the pleasure of observing and riding in (!!) helicopters engaging in some seriously aggresive maneuvers in combat zones and other tactical enviornrments, flown by guys with serious skill sand mastery of their machines.
To get to where I can fly my model like the guys I've seen flying Cobras,Apaches, 58's and Blackhawks,Hueys, 46's and 47's I've been in is where I need to be. I'm sure workin' on it ! Doug
