<DIV>Jon,</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>
