It’s a sport. I get plenty of exercise with all the hiking around the hills and the occasional rock climbing / abseiling, while looking for lost gliders (or wreckage).

What are you sayin'? A fat pilot is a good pilot?!!

Matin

I must be an exception to the rule. Perhaps some higher being thinks that I need the exercise, so interferes with my superb piloting skills

Steve,
For some reason it says sporting license. I think Sport is a poor definition of a lot of activities. Some get labeled mind sports buy that is no good here either.

Johno,
Yes, while flying you get the opportunity to engage in some sporting activities such as buskwalking, hiking, mountian climbing, orienterring etc. I do all those while taking photos, does make photography a sport?

Matin,
So glad you worked that out.

Hmmm, killing people with a MQ-1 Predator must be a sport even though its not very sporting.

Neither the less, aero modelling is internationally recognized as a sport with it's own sporting codes administered by the F.A.I . It like Fishing which is recognized as sport . Flying slope is probably the best example of considering what we do flying from Mountain tops,but the sports comes into from the competition scene such as F4C ,F3F,F3B so on and so forth so a sport it is

You need to be a good sport to crash a model and not cry.
I havnt cried yet so I must be good at sports. It's simple logic.

I don't think anybody argue your not a good sport.

If you follow Matin's logic Mams is a fantastic pilot although I have seen him walking up and down hills.

Hey, I was huffing and puffing going DOWN the hill........mams was running UP the hill ahead of the young'un.....

Matin
is working hard on the treadmill toward becoming a crappy pilot.....

What is everyone doing for night flyers this year? I don't think my easy star can handle a third campaign.

I am planning to resurrect the Hobby King AXN Floater-Jet…with luck. It could be a bit of a job

You should have left yours hanging in the tree ready for this year like Dave,that's extra room in your suitcases.

I'm in this year,

have an electronic component from OTE!

Lily and I are both looking forward to seeing how my eyesight goes in the dark....gotta be a laugh there!

I have to get mine out of the shed and see if it works.

I think it is a bit nose heavy with half a roll of tape on it.
