One of the main differences we hold on to here is the camaraderie and easy-going attitudes...
I've left many forums for lack of that with most members. You will always find friendly people but here, there is a much larger number of helpful, funny, friendly folks, who truly want to help pass on the gift of R/C flight to any who care to give it a try. Makes all the difference in the world and is something a lot of clubs could stand to learn as well as most of the forums on the interwebs!
