[NSRCA-discussion] Competition

[Robert L. Beaubien]

Not just our younger ones.  I have been flying FPV for a couple of years now doing mainly racing and freestyle.  It’s a lot of fun.  I still get out and practice pattern from time to time, but it is a lot easier to 5 minutes to the local park than it is to drive 30 minutes to the field.

Regarding what we're up against, I'm sitting here watching ESPN. On this channel, they are broadcasting the DRL Drone Racing series and US Nationals in New York. It's an hour show on ESPN and the crowd is amazing. Unfortunately, the draw of this is where our youngsters are looking and going. There's RC modelers doing the commentary.  If we want to compete with this draw, we definitely need to look "outside the box".
