so you dont need/want AMA
the club doesnt want you
Now it looks like a Win-Win situation: You dont get what you dont want, they dont get what they dont want
Aint America grand, everybody gets what they want. Sweet deal for all. This should get cited as a success story of everybody winning.

Status: offline 		Gasdays, what you said about the IC users "dying off" is pretty immature. Granted, with your previous posts, you sound like a prepubescent boy, so repeated statements such as that are to be expected. I fly both gas and electric planes. I'm 16 and I like gas/glow a lot more than electric. I plan to fly giant scale gas planes for as long as I can. The reason I fly electric is becuase my field is 45 minutes away. There is a park the is down the street, so I can fly pretty much whenever I want with EP. I really enjoy just putting around with a foamie, and practicing aerobatics. There are a couple of drawbacks though. With electric you don't get the full sensory experience, just sight. With IC, you have sound, smell, sight, and the realism involved with it. Also with IC I think I can have a better feel for the plane, I can listen to what the engines doing and recognize problems easier. All the electrics I've flown feel a bit looser. To me, there is just nothing like flying a real IC plane. Motors and batt's get really really expensive the bigger you go. You can get a .60 size engine for 110 bucks new, and a reciever pack for 15-20 bucks, AND you get the realism. You have to admit, a giant scale B-25 doing a low pass just wouldn't sound right with the rhythmic whirr of an electric motor . Electrics have their place too, on cheaper foamies that are used for training/practice, but leave the big planes to IC.

MY electric motor and prop is very easy to hear...gimme a break you like gas cause youre faithless and cant learn any thing new. MY electric does a rolling circle and is smoother than any giant gasser ever was at my former club. The top 3 finishers at the last several aerobatic national contests were electric look on the net .. 16 give me a break LOL

Actually, believe it or not, I am 16. Trust me. I have been into RC planes for a year after my dad got me into them. I have had 4 electrics, three being trainers for my dad and an airfoilz edge. One trainer bit the dust, so right now I only have 3. I soloed within a month of flying, and my dad has not yet soloed, so I buddy box him on the electrics, and occaisionally with his .60 size trainer at the field. As far as IC models I have a 72'' goldberg sukhoi, and a small .40 size corsair. My dad pretty much buys most of the plane stuff. The only big purchase I've made was the airfoilz edge. I'm pretty lucky with him buying the plane stuff becuase I spend enough money between my RC cars, and other hobbies. It's pretty apparant that an electric motor with make some sort of noise. I think you misinterpreted what I said. I was talking about the realism involvevd with IC engines. If you can't say that IC planes sound more realistic than EP planes, then there is something wrong with your hearing. I go to my flying field and see a group of people who all have one common thing, and that is flying planes. I am usually surrounded by very mature, and nice people at my field. I can go to school to see immaturity, but I expect people of your age to act a little better. There are two big things that I don't like about the people involved in RC. The first one is people who wear their age like it's some kind of badge. The second thing I don't like is elitists who basically say it's my way or the highway. The nice thing about this hobby is that people can be individuals, and have their own opinions on certain issues. Getting back on topic, I do agree that there is too much electric coverage. I think the AMA is just trying to draw more members in. First they introduced the whole parkflyers membership thing, and it's only natural that they try and keep the new members by targeting that specific area.

Any electric people reading this please remember theres alot of liars on here.. And when it comes to giant scale planes with a DA 150 w $1500 dollar motor, electric power is within 100 dollars of this price range.. look at the newest banner adds lipos are really cheap now cause they put out more amperage meaning you dont need to buy 2 packs for parrallel use. For J3 cubs and so on NIMH is all you need. Brushless outrunners are extremly powerful. Just think you can do tail touches with no fear of a dead stick crash..

Status: offline 		Well, they sell plenty of gas model cars. They sell plenty of gas boats. I wonder why? There are just as many gas R/C plane engines as there are electric. Again, I wonder why the electrics haven't yet completely taken over the R/C scene. I once had an electric boat. I guess I can get an electric park flyer. Just plug it in 'an go. About 8 minutes later, exchange another battery pack from the charger plugged in my cigarette lighter and off I go again. Eh, boring. OK, so I guess I should replace the glow engine on my .40 trainer and get an electric. Afterall, EVERYBODY's doin' it. Gosh, to be like everybody else. Have 2.5 kids, a garage, and a dog. Just like everybody else. Life is a drag, and then ya pay 'yer bills 'an taxes -n- such.

Well you know something? I just happen to like old Mercury outboard motors. They're grungy and dirty. They smell great. Nothing's quite like the sound of an inline 6 cylinder two-stroke on an old Merc. Boy, I should get an electric boat. I wonder if it'll pull a water skier? Hey, has anybody ever had a boat that sounds like a washing machine? I can wash cloths with that electric boat after a day of fishin'! And then I can waste away at the computer for the rest of the week (or my life for that matter). Will a giant washing machine motor run a snowmobile or a jet ski? Hey, you never know 'cause technology's always gettin' better. By golly, someone's gonna invent a dishwasher that'll that converts to a jet ski. Or, how about a refrigerator/freezer that turns into a snowmobile! All done by electric power, fresh from the Fermi nuclear plant (don't worry about the spent fuel rods, what we don't know won't hurt us).

All kidding aside, some people like steak and others like tofu. I like a bit of meat in my diet, it don't matter to me much what anybody else thinks. Golly lolly, somebody wants me to assemble a Sig Kadet LT-40. With an electric motor of course, I think. Well, I should go ask him. It'll only cost me twice the amount I spent on my Nexstar with that nasty .40 motor, of course. No biggie, just put off paying a few bills and go for that electric 'cause it's the best thing since sliced bread. Just push tha button 'an go!

Well, all I can say is that I'm not much into tofu and I guess I'm not all that politically correct. I hope they tap into that Alaska wildlife refuge, we can use some more gas. Don't anybody else (excluding the PC bleeding heart liberals) agree? Well, enough ranting for today. 'Gonna fire up tha grill and enjoy some burgers, courtesy of the dead cow it came from. Then I'm gonna grab me a green jug 'o that awful, nasty, poisonous pollutin' methanol gas that kills grass dead. 'Gonna fire up that stinky, nasty, dirty, grungy old .46 motor and just smile and nod politely the next time someone preaches the EP gospel. I guess some people just don't wanna go to church.

Lets go check on the progress hes got on that ...

Wonder if this glider contestant(nonama contests?) will ever post in the Glider or Eflight forums.... surely his only purpose to be on RCU cant be just to stir up trouble in the ama forum and nothing else.

Status: offline 		GREAT STORY HERE: This is a true story about what our president of my former gas club said as information in the newsletter"

Quote " ON Balance and CG If the wing of an RC model could be moved, and if you were to move the wing forward, since the wing has weight, the model will now become nose heavy" LOL-----what idiots you power guys are..

If you guys like motors so much why dont you just remove the airplane entirely and just form a model motor club... build and run gas motors in a small building and then breathe the fumes... you could even sit around and drink coffee while watching them run. You guys have no clue whatsoever about CG --aerodynamics -LOL

Hummmmmmmmmmm, I've been in RC since 1970, modeling since '54 (O.K. Cub on an ARF "FlyBaby" ....haven't quit since I started, maybe that is why I still like to fly gliders (REAL gliders, not 'power assist). But out here in the middle of the desert, there are too many thermals (ha ha).

In the case of gasdaysaregone and tailskid we know the obvious but im bowing out of the argument cause unlike them id rather fly than try and teach them to shut up when you do not know what end they speak from..

Status: offline 		gasbegone , Why you posting so much in the AMA forum?\
Seems like your just bragging about a E glider (big whoop!)
And knocking fueled pilots, do what ya want , I think
rubber-band pwr is the very best there is, how come ya dont
fly it ? Its very quiet, rubber band prices are becomeing
very resonable now too. I bet its to complex and you
dont understand it, all the guys at my field couldnt understand
it. They were jelous of me for having it, and knowing how to
work it. I had Epwr but I lost interest, till I got in to
rubber pwr, its so much better!
