This year I have one E. and one DZ plane. I'm really looking forward to not having to clean gunky exhaust off all the time. I really think that flying Electric is easier. Just plug it in and take off. I'm also looking forward to the potential savings I will see in shipping from Richards repair shop and my house. Trust me it's been a substantial sum.

I'm getting tired of the "political correctness" both<BR>>> on the list and the K Factor. I'm taking it a little personal<BR>>> at this point, because Lamar Blair told me that he got a<BR>>> letter (not email) the other day blasting the article I wrote<BR>>> on the OS 1.60 in the Nov 2006 K Factor. Why? Because I<BR>>> dared to mention Tower Hobbies and other sources as suggested<BR>>> places you could get the pieces I described. I have not seen<BR>>> the letter, as Lamar sent it on to Derek K., but Lamar<BR>>> described the contents. The writer is a member of NSRCA and<BR>>> was offended because I
mentioned non-advertising vendors, at<BR>>> the alledged expense of advertising vendors and local hobby<BR>>> shops. Let's see, Great Planes is a regular full page<BR>>> advertiser in the K Factor as the importer for Futaba and OS.<BR>>> Hmm, who owns Great Planes? Hobbico. Who owns Tower?<BR>>> Hobbico. Seems like Hobbico supports the K Factor to me. So<BR>>> much for that crime.<BR>>><BR>>> Other vendors I mentioned were Aeroslave, Andy Pollitt for<BR>>> nose rings, Home Depot, Karl Mueller for headers, Boca<BR>>> Bearings, Dave Lockhart for repitched props, Bob Pasterello<BR>>> for coupler material, Morgan fuel, and a couple of others in<BR>>> passing. Why did I mention them? Because that would have<BR>>> been the first email I got, asking, "where do you buy this<BR>>> stuff?". Some of these guys are so small that advertising a<BR>>> lot doesn't make sense for them. Very few, if
any, of the<BR>>> specialized parts may be available at your particular local<BR>>> hobby shop (LHS), and some vendors don't sell thru LHS. I<BR>>> support my LHS, but giving sources lets people look at what<BR>>> they are buying, even if they get it thru the LHS. I also<BR>>> support K Factor vendors, as my bills from Central and Budd<BR>>> prove. And sometimes I just don't feel like driving 20<BR>>> minutes to my LHS for something they don't stock and would<BR>>> special order, that I can order online and have delivered to<BR>>> my door in a couple of days.<BR>>><BR>>> Frankly, I think Ihncheol did the right thing. He let people<BR>>> know of a supply for a scare product in high demand. He could<BR>>> have told his buddies about it, and have one of them post it,<BR>>> and no one would (or could)have said a thing. It isn't like<BR>>> he is on here all the time pushing his
products.<BR>>><BR>>> The writer of the letter did not have the courtesy to copy me<BR>>> on the letter. Derek, if you read this, please send me a copy<BR>>> when you get it. Frankly, if the whole thing wasn't so<BR>>> ridiculous, I'd think twice about writing another article for<BR>>> the K Factor.<BR>>><BR>>> Incidently, I am not sponsored by any of the companies I<BR>>> mentioned in my article or here. I do write for RC Report on<BR>>> occasion. Oops, I just mentioned a non-advertisor!
