I supplied the venue I can't make them post..
The reason I don't post as much is that most on here have forgotten more than I know. I haven't flown in quite a while, as this is just on of the hobbies I have and my income doesn't allow me to buy $100 or more kits, engines, etc.CLP** CLP** CLP** CLP** CLP** ;D
I don't have a wing jig, I don't have 25 engines or kits sitting around waiting to be built. If I'm lucky I can get part of the kitchen table for a while to build on.
For some on here this is a secondary thing, not the primary hobby. We enjoy flying around have never done a pattern ever, but probably could if we tried, however, the hobby for us is maybe different than for some of the main posters. We aren't all members of the AMA though we'd like to be, but something else took that money. Mine went to the NRA actually, because for me that's more important right now.
That doesn't mean I don't like CL models, or love seeing how someone else's project is coming along. I love the contest photos, and the build threads always get looked at. Videos of patterns flown by the experts get downloaded and reviewed making me smile. The amount of expertise makes me a bit intimidated but I still like to come and look always.
So don't judge us too hard. We're out here. We love it too, but for some of us, there's always something else.
Thanks for allowing us to share, because it really makes us feel a part of something we really do care about.
Best to all

As someone who has rarely posted here....I joined up at theWe'll all take a turn on that ride, bro........sorry to hear you aren't as happy as you could be......if you lived near me, I could always come get ya and help ya enjoy a little more. I do that for my veteran friends, although I'm down to just one now. :-[
time my involvement in C/L was rapidly declining due to some
health related issues. The medications I take for a heart problem &
migraines have effectively dealt with those problems with the
side effect of greatly increased dizziness...I still read the forums
here on occasion, but my involvement in the hobby is strictly
"armchair."
Yes, that is impressive and there is definitely a lot of activity on this board. I never questioned that. My point was that all that activity is generated by half the members. That's all. I am not condemning anyone for being inactive and not posting. I just thought it odd that the membership was split that way. No malice intended!
