Reading discussions on the place of young people, and their interests in this hobby, I got to thinking. One of the thing I notice comparing the younger and older demography in ham radio is what draws them to the hobby. In the older crowd, yes of course, there are those who get into it purely because they like tinkering, but I've also heard many stories of a more romantic notion of global communication and exploration. From my observations of the younger crowd, me myself being one. Young folks who get into ham radio are almost exclusively interested in the very tech side of it. Obviously the world has changed, and we have phones and social media. I'm not sure myself how can you make ham radio romantic again so to speak, or appeal more to the social science and humanities kids. All but two individuals, one being myself in our university's radio club are in STEm of some sort. There's nothing wrong about that, but I also think the diverse old folks from literature professors to engineers made the old radio hobby cool and rag chews fun.

A lighter topic. I just got my Lewis and Clark package in the mail today and loved it. It got me thinking. Which ones are the most fancy. Any unique ones. I'd love to hear about them.

There's not much to this post. I just think its crazy that even the t 50 or 60 state schools are rejecting high 160s to 170 LSAT folks on the regular. The LSA sub bemoans how tough the t14 is this cycle, but man, the state schools are dishing it out too.

I have had those tiny two channel differential thrust foam planes as a kid. Some of them have props on the wings. Some have pusher props, and I've found that when the prop is not on the nose, those planes are near indestructable. Now I want something maybe a litle bigger or hobby grade. Honestly it doesn't have to be huge, just proper 3 or 4 channel. Are there any good options out there for rtf, pusher or twin wing props?
