[SPAM] Re: Reverse av/RCU poll

Rick, 
Planes have NOT gotten too light. Many have forgotten how to build. I  agree 
that fixing the planes is what's needed. Taking weight and strength out of  
the heart and soul of the model is just plain dumb. There are dozens of  other 
places where weight can be removed.
 
Arfies have filled a rather large (and getting larger all the time) void, I  
am not disputing that fact. What I am suggesting is that before you plunk down 
 your $$ you consider who builds these things--not modellers I would bet. 
Just  folks who get an hourly wage and no more. Consider the 80-20 rule. It 
certainly  applies to the work place, of any variety. Even from reputable outfits 
like ZN  and PL. As Mssr Lemonier so aptly stated, and I paraphrase, 
"...finding good  help is hard...". AMEN brother Patrick

BUT… -  If the current planes can’t do the maneuver (and I’m not convinced 
that’s an  issue), the fix shouldn’t be to dumb down the maneuvers, it should 
be to fix  the planes. There’s room in the 11# weight limit, and techniques 
aplenty to do  just that. Even for ARF wings.
