I'm with Joe Just on this one ...

I've been selling on eBay and internet forums for 14 years now, and can state with certainty there are a "bunch" of builders/flyers who have absolutely no interest in competition or even the forums, other than to perhaps find something they want.

And I'm OK with that.

Heck, my good friend and Best Man at my wedding hasn't even been an AMA member for so many years he can't remember when it last was!

Me thinks the numbers are greater than most here would realize ...

Perhaps the question should be, "How many ACTIVE control line flyers are there"?

Just a thought, but based on a visit to a local Senior Center. it may well pay to advertise at these places for members for your club. Many of the "seniors" are younger than many of us. If you get just one, you are ahead, if none, then status quo. At least it's worth a mention.  D>K

And if you get one + grandkids -- bonanza!

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

On an average day, Sparky's Stunthanger gets 43,000 (dirty!) looks.
