Re: [RCSE] September is almost over and....you really want a new thread????
Before just looking at the negative side, think about how many new people will be introduced into flying. Everyone has to start somewhere. Stick and tissue models aren't where the future fliers are going to come from. Times do change. Martin Usher wrote: --- I've got a good one -- Park Fliers.

Martin, If I am not mistaken, they are on 27meg and AMA has had a lot of input in to this. Also, I want the big boys to make some money so they can sell me the good stuff at a lower cost. I think you are into an urban legend there.

>We have beat landings, Gordy, and a few other things to death this month (Danny Williams) Vendor Bashing is so passe...anyway, there really aren't that many bad ones left these days.

Ruin -- Nothing like having your plane shot down by someone flying a park flier a few streets away to ruin your day.
