Filling the Ggap.

[James Deck]

OK, Gordy is missed.  Now who will step up and fill the gap?  This forum covered a broad spectrum of topics in R/C soaring (not just competition) long before RC Groups became available. Here's a general topic that might stir up some interest.  What steps, in your opinion, would give soaring a shot in the arm?  Here are a couple of potential examples:

• The new F3RES class looks promising.  Would the introduction of an ARF sailplane built to F3ES specs with reasonable performance and price boost participation in this class?
• Sites capable of handling winch or histart launches are becoming harder and harder to find.  Should the AMA use their clout and contact one or more of the major youth soccer organizations about sharing the many soccer sites in the USA?
• There are probably a few more similar broad topics worth consideration and discussion.  Please use this forum to air them out.
  

    Respectfully submitted for your perusal and comments,

            Jim Deck

Or, how do we get those with disposable income, like the 40-50 yr old empty nesters looking for something to do besides play golf? I think there's where we target our audience, not just kids who may or probably not have the income or cash to put into this hobby. No matter what people say it's a hobby and it isn't inexpensive. I'm glad to see the group showing signs of life!

Here in Daytona, Soccer fields present a problem: lights! Those tall posts with lights tend to get in the way.  Except for the summer the soccer is not in full swing, it  becomes hard to use the few available fields that are available since they are either in maintenance and or used by other sports/ recreation. Not to mention that the good fields where anything flying would be possible,  most lay within the realms of an airport of class C or D, which are controlled limiting altitude to 400-500 feet in the 4 nm proximity and 1200 feet beyond the 5-10 nautical mile outer area of the airspace. Anything further away that should be ok. Anyway, there are a couple of fields good for informal dlg flying and the ocasional flight of a 3.8 just to test glide, settings and a quick flight.  

Maybe im looking at it the wrong way ...?
