RE: What the....?

The military radials I flew had a bad habit of throwing jugs- right thru the cowling. If this one throws the appropriate jug, you may not have to worry about birth control!

RE: Should I Let Her Fly My Cub?

I'm pretty sure (Actually almost positive) that they're not real, so the appropriate question is

"Does silicon weigh more or less than the real thing?"

My vote is that it's less dense and...

RE: Here is the REAL NEWS!

I don't vote because I really DON'T care who gets elected. Geez, this is a hobby, not our government. The AMA leadership decisions are not life-changing or impact people to any measurable extent. ...

Think about a very simple business model. A candy store that has $500 in rent and $1000 in salaries. It makes 33% on the candy it sells. If it sells $6,000 in candy monthly, it will make $500 in...

Recommendation for Hi-Start

I'm an experienced RC'er but limited in sailplane experience. What's a good hi-start to use with a Spirit 100? Specific brand and model recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

DVD NUmber Two

I got (And paid for) the first AMA DVD because I watched it and thought it was worth the money. Heck, $9 is about the cost of an afternoon's fuel! I do agree that it should not have been sent to...

2) No meetings
3) As little paperwork as possible (Just to...
