But who is it that says indoor is unfriendly? Where is the proof that
this is the "word on the street." Beside your recent posts I can think
of only one other person in 30 years of indoor flying who has put forth
a similar argument. Are the people who tell you this are they all
speaking from personal experience or simply repeating the experience as
herd by others?

Once again who is "everyone"? Who is telling you this? None of the
people in our free flight club (CFFS) which is mainly an outdoor FAC
club thinks like this at all.

Again by whom? Sounds to me like you need to hang with better friends :-)

Looks like you found better friends :-) So now that you have built and
flow F1D do you now find that what you were told about indoor F1D flyers
being unfriendly arrogant jerks to be true or false? If false, then all
the people who told you they were all arrogant jerks needs to be made
aware that you found it to be just the opposite. They have to alter
their perception as they are the ones actually creating the stereotype
not the F1D modeler.
