I would have to say in Don's defense that he has done a terrific job in each of those three things here in Colorado Springs and to be sure there likely would be very little activity here if not for his efforts in attracting people including national caliber flyers into attending our meets.

Not to throw another log on the fire but it isn't likely that an esoteric sport like indoor flying is apt to ever be more than it already is. Is it less than it ever was is perhaps a good indicator. I know outdoor free flight is certainly less than it used to be for an entirely different set of reasons.

That said I certainly enjoy both indoor and outdoor perhaps not equally but have attained mediocrity in each.
