boatman, no one does on his/her own posting. Some time ago one of the powers-that-be said that you would not be emailing or sending a private message to yourself, so it does not show on your own postings. That's muh story and I be a stickin' to it!

Now, Thank YOU for getting this forum. Every since the '60s, anyone that does not fly only RC has been considered something from the wrong side of the tracks. As a competition FC/CL flier in those late '60s, early '70s, I well remember the snickers from most RCers. It still happens today.
CL is making a strong come-back, and thanks to you, maybe FF will, in the not too distant future, have a better showing. Big problem for FF is a place to fly. Think it's difficult to find a RC facility, just try to locate suitable acreage for competition FF. [X(]

Now if you are in the NE Houston area, Jetero has 50 acres which they may allow some use of, and I have 40 acres on the east side. I could allow certain privileges there for those in the area.

Best of luck to all FFERS everywhere.
