You mean fireworks ?

Did Mr. Lankford give you this information or are you pulling iy out of your ass?

Phil

You forgot that maybe he's not familiar with weenies that whine and pull "facts" out of their ass.

Phil

Yea, Shockies being this years JI

As I said in prvate email, that's not what the minutes reflect. And that's not what a couple board members who were at the meeting conveyed to me.

Another oddity of the certification codes. I can't fly a B-14, or a B2, but I can fly an A8-3 from one of my "diamond" packages. The A8-3 was last tested by S and T on March 25, 1995. As were a number of other Estes motors.

When motors are decertified is there some sort of signal that they get from S and T that changes how they perform? That suddenly makes them untrustworthy? Just wondering. ;) QM

I think it's as important that they stick by the rules that they make. If a rule doesn't make sense, remove it and allow EVERYONE the benefit of its removal - not just a few. Also, if they felt that it really is a safety issue to abide by a particular rule, why are they allowing people to circumvent it?

Phil

What information are you referring to? The only part of Terry's email that raised any eyebrows for me was the last paragraph. Oh and it is Dr. Langford not Mr. Lankford. Do try and get it together :-)

Quilly - THis is what I was replying to.

Shockie said Mr. I guess he can't get anything right. Anyway to avoid confusion, I'll refer to him as Lankford.

As to where Shockie gets his info, I'd put my money on him pulling it out of his ass.

Phil

Just curious... Are you a NAR member?

I retired about a year and a half ago. Went over to the dark side. ;-) I've been thinking about rejoining but not real hard.

Phil

BTW - I'll definitely rejoin so I can vote for Shockie - of course for that to happen, he'd have to get off his ass and do something besides complain.

I dropped my NAR membership a year or two back as I realized that the leadership was clueless and there was no way to get a real change. The "Kosdon Mess" was the start, and my decision to no longer support NAR has been enhanced by this major screwup. I just wish that TRA could drop NAR as a partner in the ongoing lawsuit, as actions like those taken with the Czech motors shows how lost the NARBOT really is...

thanks for that show of support PHIL!!!!!

I'm serious - you should run.

Phil
