For what it may be worth......... Has any one notice the large number of recent teens (beginners) who bought or were "given" a competitive foam/glass/carbon or molded
ship to fly and then after a few (1 or 2) years disappeared. Where as many of the teens who built and crashed (bentwings gas bags), rebuilt and crashed ---are still flying at 20-35. Most of us are still at........60+. Staying power is enhanced when you have something personal (blood, sweat, and tears) invested............... just a thought! jim ealy AMA life member #43 Mark Miller wrote: Hmmmm....Horse and buggy sailplanes...........
