I for one was not even in the slightest offended by his opinion on our schools. I think we should all PM him and tell him it's fine and if he says he is sorry for his opinion once more we will track him down and slap him silly.
Honestly... there is nothing to be sorry about. From what I know about schools in my area, there is a shortage in funds for many things... think I know I had when I was in school such as Drama, Band, etc. These line items on the school system budget are being cut left and right and can only survive through the generocity of the teachers, and hard pushing fund raisers. I know high school and middle school students in my area must pay tuition for extra curricular classes to just be able to take them... such as Shop, Home Ecc, etc... this tuition rarely covers materials either.

Given knowing this about my area... I just feel it wouldn't be fair not to mention it as it definately makes a mark on my opinion over the issue. So to Paul: Your opinion is one I support completely... but the sad truth is that the budget can be too thin at times to be able to plan for these kinds of things. Sad, but true []. I honor your opinion though Paul... and moreso, I stand behind your right to have it. Forums are all about sharing these kinds of things .

On a side note...

Keepiru and I some time back made a trade for one of his unused older airframes for some old electronics. I am near finished on the rebuild and covering of the Tiger 2... so I'll post a few pictures soon.
