<DIV>Just recently I was having a discussion with several top pattern fliers adn
the sentiment seemed to be that we will be heading BACK to nitro power, and away
from the current, pun intended, trend.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts out there?</DIV>

<DIV>Don't let it get under your skin. Someone will always find fault with
what you do when it is done publicly. BTW, I saved a copy of your article
just in case I decide to switch back to glow :-) Although, I'm not ready to
switch back yet. Thanks for taking the time to do it. It is important that
folks like yourself contribute to the KF. It is the only way it will continue
to be a fantastic publication.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Emory.</DIV>

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