Weight Limit-really marketing/popularity/etc

[Woodward James R Civ 416 FLTS/TPS]

- funny!!  .... "on the second flight, I felt pretty comfortable and did a
beautiful victory roll after buzzing the other pilot stations."  Your not
far off Gray.  In a recent mag, there was a "new"  0.40 P51 review - and
they listed every P51 kit/arf manufactorer, and rated each for its
qualities!  ... but they didn't talk about which P-51 hovered the best.
I'll be biting my nails in anticipation of that column!

Like Buddy mentioned its the magazines, not some concerted effort by IMAC to
market sportsman. I do not believe I have ever seen anything from IMAC, but
every model mag has either a scale warbird OR a scale .40 IMAC plane on the
cover. Real IMAC planes are ONLY shown on covers of anything in the hover
position, and we all know how important that is(speaking of that , perhaps
someone should mention to the self proclaimed #1 pattern supply place that
perhaps a new photo would be in order to appease us-my personal choice would
be of an Aries). 
Perhaps a Pattern marketing effort could help, but "IMAC style" became
popular because the magazines are all in a vicious butt sniffing mode to get
out the latest reveiw of the NEW 60 sized IMAC type ARF-gotta be an ARF or
no one will buy it right? Why this frenzy I have no idea, but it is not IMAC
marketing (unless there is some serious under the table stuff-but I honestly
think if anyone is paying money its gotta be the Chinese). 

PS-what the RC world really needs the mags to do is give us one more review
on the NEW .40 P-51 ARF, complete with genuine imitation exhaust stacks for
more realistic runway fly-bys. Report on how the first take -off was...did
it pull right and require left rudder-I gotta know..... 


Just an opinion
