I have been out of the hobby for 8 years, and thought I'd stop by my old club to see what was going on. I saw the same hackers with way too much money and no skill level with their ten thousand dollar T.O.C. planes trying to hover twenty feet off of the deck. I couldn't get the hell out of there fast enough. I really enjoyed flying pattern, but the politics and BS bias burned me out. I discovered that the Muncie Nationals could be won by buying a judge a nice steak dinner the night before. The whole world is focused on the 'Olympic Doping Scandal' right now, but that factor has nothing on the fun family oriented hobby of radio controlled aeroplanes. Cubic dollars = trophies.
