No idea. Unless it goes with your eat, breath, live the hobby theory of yours. Could they be so blinded by their own misguided passions that they hear what they want whether that's what was said or not? Or is there a deeper scam going on somewhere? Another Hobbico type thing? I have no evidence there is but, until some questions get answered I don't see where we can rule out the possibility.

On the flip! I realized today that the 25 years of AMA dues I've saved by not joining has paid for my new OS 320 Pegasus flat 4 engine. Hmmm! Os 320? AMA bennies? OS? AMA?

Looks like the Japs won this one!
