RE: hobby vs sport

Like others said, it can be both. However, to me , at age 64 and only a recent rc pilot ['07], it's a hobby. I do this to relax, have fun and associate with people I otherwise might not have met. ...

3 blades is indeed the first thing that comes to mind, so I had searched for comments on 2-blades vs 3 -blades before posting. From comments I read, it appears that a third blade may be...
