Since this is a beginners forum I think it would seem out of place to give them the impression that crashing is rare. It happens a lot with R/C aircraft. You mentioned you learned without crashing your trainer. That's great! But, many don't. The balsa beauty they spent many hours and bucks on gets wiped out after just few flights. And then there they are ... starting all over building a new one. Or waiting weeks for the replacement ARF wing to arrive. It doesn't have to be that way.

More people learn to fly their trainer than don't. So this one doesn't fly.
You're using an impossible premise - in flight where they belong. Airplanes must always takeoff and land. And as we all know, they don't always function perfectly - so they sometimes land with partial control (maybe a hard landing) or no control (crash). This effectively nullifies your conclusion that balsa can do anything a Spad can do. It can't. Crashing, or at least a hard landing, is a reality - sooner or later. When training, probably sooner. Balsa cannot hold up like a Spad during a crash or hard landing. Spads make pretty tough combat planes, from what I've heard. Naturally armored. LOL
Whatever...
Here I agree with you.

If you don't have the inferiority complex or care what we fly, why do you consistently attack Spads and most anyone who it seems has anything to do with them?

This is why I keep responding to this nonsense.
Show me...
* Where I attacked SPADs
* Where I said anyone is a loser
* Where I said Balsa planes fly better than SPADs
There's plenty coming from the other direction pointed at me in response to fictitious attacks and comments I never made. Why? Over-sensitivity obviously.
Spadders have taken a lot of crap from the balsa guys. Much of it was out of line. You, some of the other balsa flyers, and sadly even sometimes the mods, often go out of the way to discredit and dump on Spads and Spadders. Then you conveniently turn around and blame them for their constant attacks of Balsa as the root cause of it all. This has made some of them a bit testy and touchy. Your behavior in this thread proves my point.
Oh waaa.... My behavior in this thread? Care to show me? I'm a bore and unqualified with my comments about SPADs? I haven't said anything about SPADs. Again, a charge based on comments I never made. Maybe you need to stop crying so much, read what I actually wrote instead of making things up and you wouldn't feel so defensive.
Actually, the application of an existing material for a new purpose is considered an advance.
ROFL... by who?!?! Seriously dude. It's not an advance. Don't kid yourself.
I don't have a problem with it.
He protests too much.
Anyway, I'm taking your advice and leaving this thread. Tired of responding to all the crying about how picked on you are. Again, I implore you to read what I actually wrote. That is unless this is another of your posts where you made comments that appeared to be directly to me but were actually to other people.
