Reminds me of one of the clubs I fly with that opened it up to electric flyers. Several new guys joined and most all, if not all of them had just the little buzzy things to fly, no electric sailplanes. The overweight short wing span arf's are flown all over the field without regard to the few soaring pilots. I was told the local power club wouldn't let them in.
It won't be long for this club before the dominant flyers will be the little buzzy things. Bye bye sailplanes.
