As a matter of fact, The US is abotu as close as you can get to a "classless" society, considering that anyone, with enough vigor,luck, and business smarts, can become part of the "Upper class". There are few entrenched "Clubs" as in the European countries or Japan that would prevent a person from achieving their goals strictly on where they were born or what "Lords" they were rubbing elbows with. . .

I fly JR and Airtronics radio gear and JR and HiTec servos. . .College degreed working as a Mechanic. . of blue-blooded parentage (The "Philadelphia Masons. . descended from Elder Brewster of Mayflower fame, as well as tracing my lineage to Via De Luna, the first Spanish settler in the New World) but driving a 1986 Dodge van, with dirt under my fingernails as I type poetry (sometimes published) and sip my Glen Fiddigh laced Instant Folgers coffee from a Pep Boys logo'd coffee mug set on the old single tier military desk that my Pentium 4 computer is on.

Talk about an exercise in contradictory coincidences. . .

There are no "Classes" in the US. . just people. [/QUOTE]

Whooee!! We got us an educated working man with class on this here forum!! Nicely said, Kris.
Now,if'en I can git me one of them ther Multiplex thingies I will become the great RC flyer I wuz ment to bee.

What is happening is that the servo is following the stick until ˝ movement then stopping. This is because he has altered some other programming parameter and it is interfering with that servo’s movement.

Status: offline 		I dont think mpx are that great. i have a cockpit set and the servos all sound different and lousy at that, there in slope soarers. the transmitter cant be cleaned and is now permanantly dirty, the led goes out when i go outside in the sun and the clip that holds the aerial when it is been stored broke under normal use. yeh the programming is easy, but i wish i had bought another JR there the best.

First, you GOTS to be smarter than the radio (no offense intended)

Second, its the pilot, not the radio, that makes the plane fly properly.

No matter how much money you pay, the radio will never satisfy you if it winds up being more of a burden than an asset.

And lastly . . . Brand loyalty is fine, as long as you acknowledge the limitations of what you are gbeing loyal to and can stop for 5 secodns to appreciate WHY the OTHER GUYS are loyal to their brands as well.

Darn, I wish EK Logictrol wold come back into business. . . . .I loved my EK with a "brick".

I guess people only listen to what they want to hear.

I have owned many radios of all types, and throughout the years with Multiplex, I have allways looked at what the competition had to offer, because I didn't want to use Multiplex just because its Multiplex. Well there isn't anything out there to replace the top of the line Multiplex, and that's what we're talking about, since any entry level radios is not worth fighting over anyway.

So the bottom line the top of the line Futaba and JR are about equal to the MC 3030. The 4000 is in a league all by itself.

Most of the top flyers were so determined that they managed to get on top even with their inferior radios

Status: offline 		It is funny that 99% of the US RC pilots flying JR, Futaba, Airtronics, etc, are the ones that "only listen to what they want to hear", rather than the 1% which fly Multiplex who are saying this. I would have thought it would be the other way around!

Or does being a Multiplex dealer, past or present, have the effect of plugging ones ears and narrowing ones vision

It wasn't nasty at all. I was just poking fun at the statement telling the clear majority of the masses that they only listen to what they want to hear . I just think there is a bit of irony in that, especially from someone that was a Multiplex dealer, in a thread about evangelical Multiplex users.
