You're right they aren't, though the same principles apply when it comes to airmanship.

My sense of humour dissipates rapidly when inconsiderate dipsticks like ACE unnecessarily put my and others models representing a considerable outlay at unnecessary risk through irresponsible behaviour and/or outright stupidity. You may be amused by his compromising safety, causing general mayhem amongst the novices, the less competent or confident alike, not to mention the selfishly contrived inconvenience to all whilst expecting right of way with totally unavoidable "dead stick" calls -then further wanting to occupy the active runway and occpy the frequency for another 5-10 minutes while they retrieve their dead stick - pun intentional. We can all do without such prima donnerish displays of 'prowess'.

Might be OK for suds suckin' ACE's ops in Pumpkin Crick, but it really doesn't wash at a very busy flying field. Such stupidity merchants can piss off and fly at Gumby Patch where there antics are better 'appreciated'. Might be out of vogue, but in my book group comes before the individual. Don't like it. Tuff. Conform or find somewhere else to fly.. Next. [8D]
