Does a forum for RC enthusiasts exist?  Do any of you net folks out
there play with radio controlled planes/boats/helicopters etc?  If so,
I am looking for advise on helicopters.  It seems to be that the
enthusiasm of this portion of the sport has died off a bit.  Is this
because of the expense, the difficulty or what?

I have been checking out the local hobby shops, but when it comes to 
helicopters, most of the RC plane/boat people try to dissuade me from 
buying one.  Most of the arguments break down to "expensive" and "difficult".
Is it really all that difficult?  Is it hard to find places to fly them
(in the bay area)?  Are there any RC flying clubs around here?
