RE: Getting Sick of this!
<span class="ssens">To quote Wesbters "BUILD" : to form by ordering and uniting materials by gradual means into a composite whole.
According to the guru of vocabulary, there is NO segregation in the act of building whether it comes from individual sticks or preformed pieces.
If one wants to spend 6 months of perfectly good flying time "building" (gluing sticks together), that is their option.
If one wants to spend 6 hours "building" (some pre-assembed parts) and fly a lot (as many times as factory glue will hold), that's their option as well.
This hobby would benefit greatly if the egos were left in the garage and the love of this great adventure were the main reason people showed up at a flying field. I think I enjoyed the beginning days of the ugly sticks and 40 sized beaters more than I do today when money and ego are the primary reason the pilots show up and the field. I can feel the love of the sport when a young man brings his best flying plane to the field and doesn't have to spend 2 hours unwrapping it and parking it in a certain place and direction so his everyone has to walk by it and gawk at it.
My RANT OF THE DAY....going ANYWHERE with the wife and daughter and having an employee of the establishment come up and say, "HEY GUYS......" I still don't consider my wife or my daughter to be a guy!
ALSO...people chose the category(s) for thier listings on Ebay. Ebay doesn't do that! Misfiled listings are the sellers option. You need to understand, the more keywords they select, the more people accidentally run across their listing. Would I want 100 X the exposure for my listing... You're damned toot'n I would! Just maybe someone will see it and buy it not even knowing they wanted one. </span>
