Personally, I think this kind of thinking is elitist and exclusionary. Glider guys might learn something from the power scale electric crowd and visa versa. From a pilot who has fought hard to include aerotowing gliders at power fields, I think the reverse discrimination and presumption that your

Our club is wrestling with the issue of allowing non-glider electrics at our club field. There are those members that feel the addition of electric models will degrade the experience of silent flight. I'd be interested in hearing how other clubs have dealt with this subject and if electric model
