JET MODEL CRISIS! Band of Jet Bro's Unite!
The latest news is not helping my passion for turbines. Obviously the actions of one individual fueling misconceptions about the model jet hobby I enjoy (read as: addicted to like a drug!) Now we got the US Media publishing highly classified prices for my wife to read. W.T.F man?! I think the AMA needs to form a committee that insures the information about expense of model jet turbines remains classified, highly classified, triple lock down, need to know basis and if your my wife you don't need to know basis classified.

The F-4 is the more expensive of the two, at up to $20,000, Hahn said. The F-86, one of which Ferdaus actually obtained, costs $6,000 to $10,000 new.
Those with family on board need not reply, we don't need to hear about your marital bliss. This thread is for the rest of us!
PS> On a serious note, I appreciate and thank AMA for jumping on this with the media and being pro-active.

I think its time to divert the medias attention, maybe we should start a campaign for a ban on shoes 
From the article in the link of post #1:
I also would like to thank the AMA for taking swift action on this, this is exactly why we need them and the JPO 
From the article in the link of post #1:
"Massachusetts prosecutor Gerry Leone, who handled the prosecution of would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid, said terrorists are always building bombs out of common, legitimate items, and imposing restrictions on buying model aircraft would not make sense simply because of this one case."

Wow, I also think that AMA were good for jumping on this with the media and being pro-active.
Even if it wasn't a real treat, people may think this because of "BIG Titles" media who don't think of the damage they can cause to our passifist flyer...
Thanks AMA and JPO !

I always move the decimal over a notch.
RC plane engine $450.00 = $45.00
On the down side that why you see widows selling $15,000 worth of man toys for $150.00

I like this decimal idea for a counter propoganda strike. I will publish an e-mail to the editor of that article that he has made a typo it should of read....
The F-4 is the more expensive of the two, at up to $2,000, Hahn said. The F-86, one of which Ferdaus actually obtained, costs $600 to $1,000 new.
I am currently looking into an "angle" on these being collectors edition jets, that are no longer produced thus increasing the value.
Today we tried both these angles on the women married to jet pilots demographic and they both scored high.
