[NSRCA-discussion] Falcon Carbon Fiber Electric Props

[Robert L. Beaubien]

Amen!  I, for one, have no problem getting emailed specials and new
products from k-Factor advertisers.  Once a month works for me even.  I
want to know what is new out there when it happens, not 2 months later
when I get my k-factor.

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
