Hmm... according to Mr. Stump, those who fly RES are only there to "get
their chance at the podium" - fliers eager for a scrap of the fleeting fame
that comes from getting "wood'. What does that say about the Nostalgia
fliers? Sorry, Mike, some of us still enjoy the challenge of 3 channel
flying or seeing a gaggle of completely different sailplanes. May we
apologize for taking away from 6 days of unlimited - not!

Jim, & Jim,
I obviously didn't choose the right verbage in talking about RES...
heck I flew in the event last year and this year.. however it is 3
channel flying... that is, limited function sailplane flying.. i.e.
really an entry level sailplane format that many of us still
occasionally enjoy.. and as I maintained, RES likely deserves a day
to itself.. but not at the cost of 2 meter or unlimited formats..
witness:
JoJo flying much of a max with his tx laying on the ground... thomas
and friend flying on each others laps.. chairs on the flightline for
pilots and timers..
what other examples do i need to bring.. it isn't the same challenge
OR the same contest environment..
I would not bring this up in the F1 Forum or old timer forum. Most
of them don't even use transmitters to fly!! And the max their
time......
Not using the tx does not mean there is no skill involve. I would
think the less you have to work with, the more skillful you are!
