RE: Pecking order
Thanks for all the great responses.
Now that I'm back in the hobby I'm amazed how the Internet has been such a strong influence up the hobby. By that I mean the if any vendor out there does not take care of customers the word spreads quickly. And just the opposite. If a vendor makes a good product and supports it the word also spreads.
I gave all my old radio gear and other stuff along with another Falcon 56 NIB to a high school kid after my crash. We needed a new set of plans for the 30 year old new model and found a set in one day that someone shipped to us for FREE. The plans were as good as new and we were back to work that quick.
I'm going to help him get started and you can be sure we will have a spotter looking out for diving Spitfires.
