Hi Bob,
With the Championship going on right at the moment I figured it was
a good opportunity to show the kids what else is out there. If the
kids are interested and esp. if they contact someone as a mentor I'm
sure the mentor would head them in the right path. And no...I
wouldn't start my kids off in a F1D either.
Everyone seems worried about where the next F1D team is going to
come from now that WS is missing from Div B. So I figured a little
publicity couldn't hurt future interest.
I honestly believe that if a kid has an interest in flying (BLG or
WS) they will start checking out other opportunity...if they are
made available to them. I'm just trying to be proactive versus
pessimistic...and I did have good intentions.
However, you have brought up a very valid point here.
I guess once again I have put my foot in the mouth....and jumped the
gun so to speak. Gosh...I'm so darn good at doing that! LOL
