Default seems like the last one aboard Titanic has jumped off

Seems like the last one aboard Titanic has just jumped off.
Pretty scary when you hear Tony has resigned. I would like to hear that story. I think my investment is squandering. What I am trying to convey is: will there be any guarantees that we wont be talking the same smack about JC down the road when everyone has decided to go with brand Y? Are we doing ourselves any good by banning together to nail the cauffin on RAM? Do we really only want one turbine company? Is there something we could do in a positive way? When everyone is flying RAM, they are the best with no problems, then when we all eventually switch to JC we talk about how RAM sucked. I will probably buy a JC P160 when they finally come out, but if RAM came out with a 35 lb turbine, I would buy it. I want to buy a JC just to see what everyone is talking about. I probably wouldnt know the difference, since my personal experiences with RAM are great. I just recently bought a BV F100 and I am still undecided what I will power it with. I think most F100 have AMT's. I would much rather buy a turbine that is built, sold and serviced in USA. I think alot of Rams problems came after the autostart and 500. I never missed a start on my 750F . Why doesnt AMT have autostart? Make the 500 manual start and I bet 90% of problems go away. I personally feel that if RAM test ran ever motor complete as a unit, that they would of eleviated a majority of their problems.
