Really? We spotted a suspicious act? You may think it speaks well of the community, I beg to differ. I think it's living in fear, in haste some run to extremes like we posses some secret knowledge only hidden to it's members. Seriously, is this not borderline delusional behavior? I'm glad two regular guys gave him solid answers as I would have.

Two healthy individuals helped the guy plenty. Maybe he left the thread because he has two choices to run with? Maybe he is getting answers now from Tech Support at Tower? Maybe he's a new user on rcgroups, fly ing gi ants, and others? I think it's remarkable from the vague information he gave with only 4 points of criteria to follow, that anyone would get paranoid over it. Further his intentions good or bad isn't about to be the pivotal point that will end your hobby suddenly folks. It's the collection of acts of stupidity that will do it instead rather than one potential misuse of an RC airplane. Most likely glow will end first, no one likes the noise. I remember mufflers were a no no in the 70s and flying in the school yard was just peachy.

Did they stop making cars when the bad guys put bombs in them?
Did they end passenger flights indefinitely after 9/11?
How about subway travel? Do we take Tylenol now that the cap is sealed?
Do people still buy Firestone tires and Explorers? Yep, I own both. I'm still upright.
I guess this was how Americans were put in detention camps here in the USA in 1942 because they were from Japanese descent during a war against Japan? We sure blew up millions for Pearl Harbor, didn't we? I guess that gave us 60 years of peace domestically.

When will people enjoy welcoming new people to the hobby and forum without such pathetic scrutiny? His questions having any hostile motive can't be determined in such a short post and nothing was prevented by insulting him. It just put him somewhere else more inviting. Maybe the hobby needs more regulation for homeland safety so everyone can stop acting so paranoid and unable to decipher a threat from a simple question.
It's vanity to say whatever knowledge we possess can't be easily replicated online from several hobby sources including a historical archive here by clicking "search", although I really hate the beta version.
THE INFORMATION IS EVERYWHERE, it's up to the user on how it is to be used or abused. He quoted the Telemaster and SIG Kadet Senior, so he's already on the path to getting what he wants if he takes out the dihedral. So shoot me, I gave him a clue.
Regardless of whatever disaster you imagine you diverted here this week, you contained and hid no secrets that he already probably found and ordered. Google just does that for people. Considering his proper use of the English language in his postings, I'm sure if he was a bad guy, the LAST place he would go to get random and inconsistent advice would be this forum. He can just call Tower direct and get all his answers over the phone so they complete a sale.

Is life that dull to get overly excited over what appears to me to be only an innocent inquiry that WAS answered twice, and after the fact? The 80" wingspan and 2 lb payload poses absolutely no "threat" for whatever he can get his hands on at the local Wal-Mart or Best Buy sale flyer. Maybe he found a camera and a restricted area to take a picture of. I bet he'll need to take several passes to get anything on his digital memory card.

1/2 mile was his stated range on the Revolver site, so what? It's all within the scope of the hobby. AMA should write some new rules I guess. Maybe RCU can get thumb prints for new members and send them to the FBI for screening. Are we a free country yet? I read nothing that merits such a defensive posture but runaway fear and a lack of understanding.

Maybe he wants to introduce a really cool accessory for my 80" wingspan planes he's developing. Darn, the project has to be delayed a few hours now.
