[NSRCA-discussion] Cleaners

[Ron Van Putte]

I don't believe in pampering my airplanes, so I don't wax them.  If  
you start pampering an airplane, first thing you know, it'll want a  
new glow plug every flying session, a new prop or a new type of fuel  
with higher nitro content.

I think of my airplanes as pickup trucks.  I expect them to be ready  
to go, no matter how badly I treat them.  An airplane should be  
grateful when you charge the batteries every week or so or use an old  
cleaning rag to wipe areas you touch to pick them up so you don't get  
oil on your hands.
