Sounds good to me. An old-timer once told me that he had far fewer radio
glitches after he learned to fly.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Warning!

In reading the current Nats News I discovered support for my long standing
suspicion of the cause of many RC mishaps.

In the RC Pylon section I read that there have been disasters not only due
to mid-air collisions but also to an anomaly known as "bad air". In the many
years I have served at Muncie I have personally witnessed this condition. In
the past we have attributed the malfunction to "dumb thumbs". With this
information provided in the Nats News we are granted a good deal more
sympathy.

Looking a bit further into this mystery I can personally testify that "bad
air" has cost me several aircraft in the past in the Carolinas!  In fact,
based on this discovery I am in favor of a retroactive declaration that
"dumb thumbs" do not exist and that previous losses attributed to "dumb
thumbs" be re-evaluated as "bad air"!
