reuven segal: I never said you advocated him to build a monster. Vegasjet WILL draw the wrong kind of attention to our hobby (especially in the US) with posts like these. If you don't think people are watching sites like this then you need to think about that again. Our our hobby as a whole has suffered here in the US because of the 9/11 attacks. One of the club fields I flew at could have been shut down because of this. People panic at what they don't understand. And perhaps you should reread my statement:

"A 10 pound UAV with a 1.20 4 stroke on it sounds like a cool idea to start with but a 144 inch 30 pound UAV is a disaster waiting to happen."

I'm well aware of the info on the internet. Yes anyone can build ANYTHING, it's all out there for the taking.

Again Vegasjet has not responded since his initial post. This leads me to believe he is stirring the pot to see how bad he can make it stink or he realized he is not going to get the info he wants from this site.

I commend your efforts in the middle east. I am sorry you were witness to the horror these people inflict on others. But the attacks did not happen in your backyard as our 9/11 attacks did for us on the Eastern US coast. WE were attacked by terrorists simply put. WE have the right to be wary of people making requests/statements like originaly posted. It's not the much different from "I don't need to know how to land, just to be able to fly the plane".

As for the religion thing, I don't see why you brought that here. No need for that. I did not detain your friend nor did I know he is a Muslim, so don't put that on me. If he was there for only 2 hours I think he was lucky. Many Americans have been detained MUCH longer than that. Just imagine how the Japanese Americans felt being put in camps after Pearl Harbor. Wasn't right but it happened.
