Friends,
There is something irresistible about this "hobby" we all enjoy. Not sure I completely understand it yet. I love to be outside, walking and figuring the best flights.
I will visit Tripoli MN in May with the intention of joining the club.
Seems like there is some really good peeps hanging out in this forum.
It is very hard to figure out the appeal, isn't it? It's not cheap, that's for sure. It's great to be outside, but one could always take up golf.
Why do kids throw paper airplanes? Why do they toss parachute men off of the roof? I think there is something in us that wants to fly, and this is a close approximation. We get the fun of planning, buying, building, simulating, launching and recovering. And it is a skill that most people in the world do not have.
