[NSRCA-discussion] Falcon Carbon Fiber Electric Props

[Ron Hansen]

Why don't we let those who advertise in the K-Factor also advertise on a
limited basis using the mailing list.

Maybe 4 times per year???

That would make it even more attractive to advertisers.

This whole thing has devolved into something unfortunate.
 
Ron, I believe you acted with good intentions, but the rule, as has been
pointed out, is clear. However, I think you have been chastised more than
enough.
 
The overall reaction, although there is no rule against that, has been IMHO
excessive. C'mon, guys, does anyone think Ron wasn't acting as a pattern
dude wanting to help others? There are probably not too many people here
that have done as much to promote this hobby for as long as he has.
 
When I was active in pattern, it was the camaraderie that I looked forward
to, not the banter of rules and "I'm going to take my ball and go home".
When did things change?
 
JMHO.

I was trying to help out pilots who were having trouble getting their
airplanes below the 5000 gram limit that will be rigorously enforced at the
Nats.  The tremendous weight saving of using the Falcon CF props could help
them a lot.  I also thought the widespread use of Falcon CF props at the
Nats would boost everyones' sales of Falcon props.  I should not have
mentioned the price.


However, due to the adverse reaction which has erupted, I will no longer be
bringing Falcon props to the Nats to sell.

It looked to me more like a pattern dude trying to help fellow pilots than
an "ad" for a retailer.  Just MHO...
