>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. Gordy's useful in an emergency, but things aren't that quiet, we should leave him in reserve. ---------------------------------------- I've got a good one -- Park Fliers. Or.......Subtitled -- "How greed and complacency ruined a hobby" Greed -- lets import and sell a bunch of cheap R/C aircraft, the sort that can be flown anywhere, even your backyard. They're good for business, profitable too. Frequency Control? That's not my problem, and anyway I don't want to frighten off a potential sale. Complacency (an AMA speciality, I believe) -- there's nothing out of the ordinary going on, its all under control, everyone's having fun and, anyway, aren't they all going to be joining the AMA...... Ruin -- Nothing like having your plane shot down by someone flying a park flier a few streets away to ruin your day. (That's actually one reason why I don't fly an Icon.........its bad enough having $200's worth of plane come down, $2000 is a little rich. Those planes also have the potential to land on people.....70ozs of molded plane can kill, 30ozs of softer material is less likely to do so.) Gripes? Flames? (Solutions??) Martin Usher [BTW -- I had an North East Omega come down.......that's one very strong plane, it will fly again. Its also cheap enough to junk and get a new one. I stopped flying larger (and more expensive) stuff some time back.......too risky.] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
