Absurd, wasn't it?
Maybe so, yet I think it is a rather good item to allow the youngsters to not always have to sit on the benches. Other youngsters can then think, "If he can do it, so can I." Model aviation is in a big change and has been since the glow plug, actually before then. I rather see and hear a youngster state his desire to be there than some same old names get posted while muttering, "Nothing to it"! HA!
My dad hated my aviation interest. He rather changed a bit when at 20 years old I came home to show those silver wings and gold bars. My life interest from about 5 years old until now 78+ still stays with me. Let's get the youngsters on the front line, and not just with a da _ n rifle in their hands.
