Different strokes for different folk, when it comes to flying RC, & no need to knock anybody about what they fly.
I enjoy most things that fly. Hell, flying this might even be fun, |

and then there are those outside the hobby who say “I don’t understand the appeal of flying a toy airplane around in the sky”
You can’t explain to someone why something appeals to you. It just does because it does. And that’s it. It’s pointless to even waste the effort trying to explain why you like what you like. I don’t understand the joy of stamp collecting. I find the whole concept of it painfully boring. What I DO understand however is that many folks derive a great deal of pleasure from it. I don’t need them to explain to me why they’re passionate about it, as it’s just never going to register with me. Never We all approach this hobby from different angles. As long as you’re not trespassing, endangering others well-being or property, do whatever feels right. No explanations required |

You just don't understand the appeal of trespassing.

That's stretching the definition of "landing".
I don't have a foam "bush plane" - yet - but they look like fun to me. Probably fly a lot like the Old Timer models I built years ago. So lightly loaded you could land them vertically if a gentle breeze was blowing. |

What's the fascination with bush/STOL planes? No different that any other extreme performance facet of aviation - such as fighter planes, Reno racers, or unlimited aerobatic planes. It's just on the other edge of the performance-envelope.
And then...some of us actually GREW UP flying extreme, Robertson-STOL equipped full-scale planes - so we naturally gravitate toward a well-done SuperSTOL RC plane that's faithful to the full-scale type. Joel |
