LDRS - What's in a name?

ROFL. Gee I wonderif this would have been alot better of a problemto solve in 1986 and 10 times since, every time it comes up?

Now that the USA has INVADED Tripoli, Iraq, what's the point?

Seriously.

Close the barn door a decade after the horse left?

AMA is worse. Far worse.

You know what is funny? An anonymous poster asking "What's in a name?"

ROTFLMAO

How many recent deaths or even not-so recent deaths can be attributed to Hobby Rocketry? Alot less than RC airplanes methinks. I'm pretty sure the number is zero. What certifications do you need to fly RC? None?

I was watching them tune-up model airplane engines on a static run-on stand on the R/C Hobbies show on DIY. I swore the guy was going to lose a few fingers the way he kept reaching behind the prop when the engine was running at full speed. Talk about dangerous!

I have NOTHING against R/C airplanes, hey, to each his own! I just have a problem with R/C guys saying how dangerous rocketry is, and then say "no comments please about the recent R/C deaths" Plural....as in multiple deaths. Talk about hypocritical. BTW: The guy on the launch tower was OK.

Please check the board, this subject has already been beat to death here.

I think those guys flying RC planes should be required to wear helmets.

I think you mistunderstood the point of my post. I agree 100% with the above - R/C is FAR more dangerous. But these guys got the IMPRESSION that rocketry is more dangerous. It is a myth that will not die.

And yes, you need no certification of any kind to fly R/C, except for turbines.

They do for pylon racing.

If everyone wants to keep the name, OK. Fine. Whatever.

But then don't be surprised if those not in on the joke take it literally.

I didn't say I was either for or against the 'D' in the LDRS acronymn, just that the subject has come up many times.

Racing pylons? Sounds pretty boring to me. ;)

Ummm......Tripoli is in Libya, Not Iraq

I'm sorry. My bad.

Then Tripoli SHOULD still change its name or better yet dissolve altogether for crimes against the hobby.

I doubt Bush will invade Libya.

Too bad

Looks like that's not enough

So uh, which forum? Maybe they need a good talking too....

Still haven't seen a name........my dog just made a random noise, and it's starting to stink in here.........I'll be back, maybe he has to go out.......at least my dog would have the cajones to give his real name........Dakota.....cool name, eh?

not to beat a dead horse........and you may want to remove the name remote from remote control as I've noticed on the news they explain many bombs have been detonated 'remotely'.........maybe distant control, or ground control, but remote control stirs up terrorist thoughts, so what's really in a name? Go back under the bridge.

could have sworn that it was in wisconsin

The ATF knows it's in Orem, UT.
