Minn, Glowpug hit it right on the head. I wasn't complaining about your reviews, I think the Gee Bee review was great. I might have to go visit the Spitfire review just to make sure I still like you.

But, just like most people here, I hate paying good money on a review that says everything was great, no problems, wouldn't change a thing, oh, and I'd give it to my 4 year old blind, mentally impaired son as a trainer it was so easy to fly.

I see what you mean Steve, and thanks.

I guess then, what I am saying is: When you read a review, drop a line to Marc, or Erick Royer, and tell them what you liked or didn't like about that review. The comments WILL get back to us so we can keep some things and add others. (You can PM or email the Reviewer too)

The same goes for mag reviews. Most of them have websites. Drop them a line and let them know how you feel.

Sounds like a lot of reviews in the RCU "magazine." I lost all respect for the RCU reviews when a Kyosho Caliber 30 got 4 or 5 (I don't remember) stars for "advanced aerobatics." Just more drivel churned out by those who have more money or influence than skill.
Yeah, check out the video's. How can you believe the reviewers report of how good the plane does aerobatics when the reviewer apparently cannot do a round loop?

LOL. Actually I was thinking of the brown truck. The one they keep talking of racing in NASCAR.
