My son helps me with the Bugeye with maintenance and he loves to drive it. How many of us are involved with our father's hobbies. I still go upland bird hunting like I did with my Dad.

I have been noticing for quite a while that MANY things are going to the wayside. When us old guys are gone, so are a lot of things that we take for granted. I did an R/C aircraft show last year and could count the number of young guys walking around the show on one hand! Nobody wants to actually build a plane anymore... If you can't buy it, charge it and fly it, it won't sell. It was at a county fairgrounds field house with over 200 tables.
