In your opinion, are we gaining members or losing already given members? From your anecdotal expriennce, is our forum gaining, losing, or maintaining steady? Is model rocketry losing to younger members entranced by drones?
I have my own opinions that drones are exponentially different than a rocket launch with flame and smoke and distance....and hoping it comes down safe. Drones, ugh. Throw it in the air, watch in slow motion and see where exactly you want it to go and then walk two feet to recover what? A plastic glob with a rechargeable battery. What son or daughter would be more interested? You or him/her?
Let's allow our kids to be interested in the uncertainty of launch and recovery. These kids will someday take us to other planets. Drone kids will take us closer to...leaves, house roofs, silly people waving hello?
I got a feeling I am preaching to the choir.
