Status: offline 		I needed to post this document on this board because only fellow rc enthusiasts could find the humor. I found this page on the net and it was mostley in chineese, I translated it using my google translator and proceeded to laugh uncontrolably for hours. I know realize that the model companies use the same translator for the instructions they send with the arfs.

Yeah, Steve, I agree. I don't think I could learn another language, so I can appreciated the effort of those who do. But it's still hilarious to read things like:


"aerated concrete machine"

Status: offline 		I live with those things every day.
I still haven't tried "Meat Pulled the surface" or "Vegetable Pulled the surface" at my local restaurant though.
I am sure that they are quite tasty but - - - .

It is a very difficult language to translate. I tried using an electronic translator to reply to an SMS one time and ended up making a rather lewd suggestion to one of my work colleagues (apparently). He thought it was funny though (Luckily for me - he didn't swing that way either - not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just not my particular scene ).

Status: offline 		I think I would be better off with an aerated concrete airplane as well. After reading this, I have also found the reason why I crash so much. It is because I did not watch out for the giant, he is swatting my plane to the ground (he hides behind the trees)!! I now know why my engine does not run, I need nitro to run after the after run oil.

If you have trouble reding the attachment, click to make it full size then click the blue dot in the bottom right hand corner. This should expand the document.

Thanks for the engrish link 13BT, that was some funny stuff!!!

Status: offline 		oh and dont forget that if you are a more experienced pilot then a motorcycle is a great choice. the greater wing ellipse will allow it to fly slower. also i suppose you dont really have to worry about crashing it because its concrete. thats probably a very durable plane. wind wont push it around much!

Mind you, respect re the whole multi language thing, my attemps at French and German could possible cause offence, and thats just when I'm trying to say thank you.
