ORIGINAL: ragris

I still have not seen (1/2 A)  defined, unless I missed it. If anyone knows what it means please add it.



Back in the beginning (no kidding), model airplane motors were classed by sizes and the sizes were A, B, C, D.

Someone then decided that .049 displacement engines would start a class and they happened to be one half the size of class A.

taa daa..... you got 1/2 A.

The gray circle means: no new messages

The flashing means: hot topic!


For the faces next to the Edit message windows:

If you right click over one of those, and then select Properties, the name of the animated picture will show.

For example, s14.gif (for smile #14), punching.gif, wink_smile.gif, etc.

Regarding the yellow rating stars of any thread, Who rates them?

Do we vote for any specific thread or they are given by the RC Universe staff?

Best regards

Of course the common ones like the TTYL acronym (talk to you later) or LOL (laughing out loud) must be familiar with everyone but it looks like there are new ones every day."

For some reason, I have not received any notification of any activity on this thread until now. I checked and found the list back at post 91 (end of page 4). I hope this helps.

Fly4Fun,

Wayne
