..... Apparently Jim, I'm not the only one who get's the "wrong" impression from Chad's posts. Reality or not, his posts smell of the insistance that he "deserves" instant respect and special treatment because of his perception of sacrifice and the type of flying he has chosen to do.

I think he flies model airplanes and if it is some kind of burden that requires his fingers in my pocket........even for the proverbial "cup of coffee"....... he needs to revisit his priorities. If I should develop a similar passion for a particular brand of flying and have the means to donate to someone who I personally feel deserves assistance, I would.

....entertainment or not, there is an underlying feeling that other modelers somehow "owe" him something. I do not.
