RE: Nitroplanes.com
Talk about a "well run business"........ They have a nitromodels advertisement that popped up getting into this forum just now. The ad is for a YAK model that looks like it's a 46size. Not much solid info in the ad, so you click on it to find out things like wingspan, engine size, whether or not it's got a fiberglass fuselage etc. The ad starts filling your screen with tons of pictures. Pictures are good, but you want to find out details that'll decide whether or not you'd buy the sucker. You scroll down and find a couple of lines between the pictures here and there.
You find out that the YAK has "charisma". Hey, I've always wanted a model plane to take to parties. Wonder if it also drinks and smokes? And that the YAK is an airplane that's easily maintained. Jeez, a bunch of the guys I fly with never maintain any of their models, wonder if this easy maintenance would get them to start. And wonder what nitro thinks ought to be maintained on their YAK. But there doesn't seem to be any information at all about the specifics of the model. Well, what the heck, I've been looking for a YAK that size for a couple of months now and guess what..... this one is sold out. And it's the one I've seen for about a month now that was sold out first time I saw it.
Talent shows.
