What about all off these bagged & now molded RES ships that will be all the
rage on the RES circuit. Nostalgia can be bothersome to get into because of
the need to find Nostalgia 'legal' kits.....
all i'm saying is that we should LOOK for ways to make this facet of the
hobby more attractive to newcomers.>>>
Go to your local hobby shop, plenty of entry level ships...Great planes
Spirit, Gentle Ladies, Sig Risers (my choice as a 14 yr old kid). I think
Risers and GL's can be had for ~$40...no need to LOOK, the options are
already here.
<<< and remember, this is a HOBBY....not rocket science, and there is room for
every opinion....including the F3B is the most fun comment....personally, i
think that F3B pretty much STINKS.......just my opinion.>>>>
Actually it is "rocket science" as soon as you tinker or modify a design. :-)
It's a shame about your F3b opinion, the truest test of sailplane piloting
skill, man on man format, no sandbagging, all aspects of piloting and air
reading skills used.
Plus it is a hell of a lot of fun to get together with the 20+ other US f3b
pilots for a wknd of <extreme> fun and camraderie.
