Disgusting

Guessin we wont have to hear from you for another 8 years?

sounds to me like you are just one of the jealous old farts that knows damn well he can't fly a scale aerobatic aircraft, so he chooses to express his hatred for those who can. I have met your type many times. My guess is those guys were doing a good job of hovering 20 feet off the deck, OR LESS without a problem........and I also presume they were happy to see you leave...........

spend more time practicing and less time bitching and you might be able to torque roll yourself.

In news:nJidncGs snipped-for-privacy@comcast.com, Brad Lorance pecked:

In general I agree with you, but he does have a point. While extreme acrobatics takes tremendous skill and hours and hours of practice, some of the extreme 3D flyers have become helicopter pilots in every way except the aircraft. Fixed wing aircraft deserve a little forward flight from time to time.

See you and your park flyer on a park sometime :-)

We have a little field used by glider guiders and electric flyers. One of the few times I visited it, I was remarking on how much mire relaxed it was than the power site..one old boy remarked that 'after years of fiddling with engines, and controlling over powered models, he had gone back to gliders and E-planes 'because I suddenly realized I wasn't having fun anymore'

I flew against one kid at the nats whose GRANDMOTHER was a judge. If that isn't biased judging then what is?

Jealousy rears it's ugly head again.....

Worst case of sour grapes I've seen in a long time...

Or he's just trollin.

one more club-basher.......have fun with your "lonely little self

Just cause you can't fly 20 feet obove the ground in a hover does not make it bad, It just means that you are not a good enough flyer to do it!

Stop complaining and get a good plane and start practicing to get good in modern flying style. You will find it more challenging than old pattern.

If one doesn't suspect some things are rigged in the AMA, one has obviously ignored the election process for many years!

I don't really enjoy those who hover right over the runway unless they are willing to climb to allow me to shoot touch and goes under them. Most do once they have seen that *I* practice as much control over my airplane as they do.

This complaint stinks of sour grapes. It looks like a duck. It talks like a duck. It sounds like a duck. It walks like a duck. Therefore it must be a pattern flyer who lost to some kid who could really fly well.

P.S. Your "complaint" MIGHT be more believable if you had the courage of your convictions enough to sign your real name and PROVE that last assertion.

I have no problem with 3-D maneuvers on the runway, unless I'm practicing touch and goes at the same time. That's when courtesy takes over. Another point is almost EVERYONE is doing 3-D...I like to do and see something different at the field. Like maybe a "teeter-board" Dr.1 tripe? Try aerobatics with THAT sucker! :)

Six,

You know as well as I do that certain individuals will make use of any and all information they can glean from this and other internet sources. And you also know that their purpose is malicious at best and driven by nothing less than evil intent. To that end, how can you criticize anyone for wanting to protect their own identity in any way they deem fit?

You of all should know better!

But *I* am only scared of the second floor surgical nurse with a needle. It's a Marine thing. . . . .

You seem to have missed the last assertion that needed to be proven. I could be wrong, but I have yet to seen a grandmother with the qualifications necessary to judge any model aviation event. Well, maybe Hazel . . . .

Ah . . . . . another vast right-wing conspiracy!!!

Don'tcha just love it!!!

judgeing, competition??? so THIS IS THE REASON everyone flies???

thought it was for the fun and enjoyment. I thought it was to be abl to experiment with different oddly designed foamies. And above all, thought it was for the satisfaction of a job well done for one's self not the accolades of others and trophies to prove it. Just remember, the trophy and a buck twentyfive will get you a cup o coffee in the real world...

That would be the "square" needle wouldn't it? :)

qualifications

Actually, in her day my Grandmother probably could have been a judge. She and my mother use to build the stick and tissue stuff. That's where I learned it.

Any proof ?

Looks like a troll.....

Sorry to see you leave, and don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
