To Andres and blw,

The hidden advertiser thing was aimed directly at me. Now I want to make this clear one last time. I do not own, share a partnership, am not sponsored, or compensated in any way by anybody involved in aero modeling. Was that clear and concise enough for everyone? There have been times I have been given free product for review purposes. Since a review was required and provided the product was not free, it was worked for. That's typical of most products used for review. The product is given and the recipient works for it. RCU provided a plane for review once. Does that mean I'm sponsored or paid by RCU? I sometimes buy a plane at a discount if I promise to review the plane. If I get a hundred or two hundred bucks off the price of an 8 or 900 dollar kit, so what? I put far more than what the kit was discounted into a review. If I like it, I write accordingly. I pay exactly the same for any engine I have as anyone else does. I've been provided two engine for review which were returned to the distributor when the trails were complete. Not BME engines by the way. Now if anyone has a problem with any of that it's just too damn bad.

I spend about 6 months of the year in some God forsaken armpit of a country, working with unmanned aircraft in hostile enviornments and make damn good money at it. My wife owns her own business and it's not hobby related in any way. She takes care of animals. That's all the sponsorship or ownership of anything I have.

I'm really fed up with your accusations and allegations Andres. If you lived in this country you would have been sued for libel already. So unless you can prove your allegations, which you cannot because there is absolutely no truth in them, why not just shut the f**k up and p/s$ off.
