I think everyone who has been around for a couple of years will agree that the hobby has changed. Some will say it has matured, others will say it's gone to **** in a hand basket. I just know it ain't the same as it once was. Back before anyone made high performance equipment, it was all just fool around for fun. See what you could make work even, now it's pull out the checkbook. (probably said by the barnstorming pilots of the 1920"s)
And yes I know, "If you don't like it find a new hobby."
