First, there is a perception that it is extremely difficult. To a degree, that perception is correct. But I have literally said that if I can do it, anyone can assuming their hands are steady enough.
Barriers to entry: First, lack of places to fly regularly. Two, lack of information on the techniques required to build/fly them. Three, lack of required tools - Let's face it, you need to build a lot of jigs and parts for yourself. Four, Time/Motivation/Money - You need all of these to various degrees. You could easily spend $1000 just to get the stuff required to fly. Five, you need to keep meticulous notes - Not all of us are wired that way. I'm not but recognize that I will need to be if I want to be competitive.
Luckily some of us have documented techniques and places to fly, so the information is out there but maybe not as easily found as it could be.
