[NSRCA-discussion] Falcon Carbon Fiber Electric Props

[Ron Hansen]

Isn't getting more advertising opportunities an incentive to continue to
advertise????

i.e., more bang for your buck?

Your logic would suggest NO.

F3A Unlimited already advertises in the K-Factor (as do several others,
myself included).  Giving away free advertising isn't an incentive, it's
retail welfare.  All we want is a level playing field to market our products
on, giving away to someone else what I and others already pay for doesn't do
that, nor will it do so in the future.

Besides, there's other, better, web-based ways to get new product/ad info to
interested members quickly that the NSRCA could provide to advertisers for a
profit.  However, it costs $$ to make $$, and running NSRCA like a business
is difficult with limited budgets and a near-requirement that most if not
all jobs be filled by volunteers (a BIG "Thank You" to them BTW!!).
