Better to be called a geek than a nerd!

As soon as contests start paying $1million + for first place, I'm sure
flying/building rc sailplanes will be considered "cool".

Just a curious thing why is it "geeky" for someone to fly "toy"

Damn, I only thought that we were viewed that way in the US. I thought
it was much more popular (an less Geeky) abroad.

Probably the best story from the WC comes from our first full day
there,
although not really connected with the flying aspects.
We were on the way to the practice field, and stopped to pick up
some food
at a truck stop on the highway. On our way out, a teenager zips up
to us on
one of those scooter things. He took one look at us, and asked us (in
english) "what are you guys doing here?" Gordon, in his typical
rapier wit,
answers "INVASION!" The kid, not at all intimidated, continues, "no
really,
why are you here?" We explain to him that we are here in Finland to
compete
at the world championships for radio controlled gliders. He doesn't
bat an
eye in replying, "Oh,... GEEKS!"
