of respect for figure skaters.

More like watching the older compulsory figures from figure skating. The
part that was not even telecast except to show it happened :)  Face it
even at a contest, except to watch the better flyers to see how it should be
done, or your competitors, even we don't watch most of the flights unless
judging and I have seen some judges zone out as well :)



Yup this is fun to watch.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJDOxzANY1s

I was speaking in terms of how exciting it is to watch, not
the "performance" itself.  Figure skating is closer to IMAC
freestyle.

The thing is, from a spectator POV, Pattern is the model
aviation equivalent to Olympic Curling.

Has anyone seen the Red Bull

I've said for a while what we

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".
