    I fly too, I'll admit a car (or boat for that matter) takes a lot less
    work and expertise to set up to bash around the back yard.
    RACING, on the other hand is a whole different story.  To really be
    fast and competitive on a regular basis, especially on a multitude of
    different surfaces and tracks, requires as much expertise as sport
    flying in my opinion.  Race car setup, including motor choice and tuning,
    chassis setup, and batteries have evolved into a science. Gas racing has
    it's own problems the racer has to deal with and overcome.  The races in
    your area may not be on the same competitive level as in others.  Around 
    here, we have the two-time 1/8 scale national gas champ, and several
    guys who have made the A-mains in various classes at the WORLD'S to deal
    with.
    Competitive flying, as in racing and pattern stuff is a whole different
    story.
