Dont get your feathers ruffled. All I said was that just because you choose to fly overpriced, pre-build, moulded ARFS does not give you any frequency advantage. Yes I would pay for your overpriced mouldy if:
1. I shot it down 2. you were on the frequency board when I started to fly. If you choose to fly at a place without frequency control then you do it at your own risk. Slope sites seem to be the worst offenders in this respect. Model price has no priority for frequency. The last time someone shot me down was a kid with a zagi that decided to fly from the soccer field across the road from our county parks department provided AMA club soaring and electric field (SASS). He didn't want to bother the 'serious' glider fliers so he decided to teach himself to fly in the soccer field across the street. He is now a valuable member of our club. -- Dick Barker Seattle, WA - Turning HLG Around - >Get off what, I never said it did.
