Team Trials

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Dean,

I never knew that. That's like saying "everybody sport drives so NASCAR will 
never be covered nationally
". yeah, right, when pigs fly. Have the editors of these magazines gone mad?? 


How many times has the point been made in regard to what really drives 
advancement in the hobby? Obviously, no one is listening

This is trully sad; in other words some of the sport and park flyers want us 
to be ashamed for flying competitively. What is this all coming to? I say all 
competitors unite now and present a unified front
