Doug,

Irealize that it is hard to read voice inflection inthe written word, but this is now the 2nd post Ihave seen you write where you sound a little pompous and arrogant.

Iwas simply asking a question about why they coat the blades like they do. All the other blade series choppers have plastic blades, so it was a simple discussion.

And, to be honest, 3 coats of rattle can white and they look fine. Yeah, you can see a little bit of the grain, but the idea was for blades to use while learning to fly, she is not going to be entered in a car show. If that thin layer of plastic truly protects the blades from the extreme forces generated by the SR, then apparently Iunderestimated the strength and power of ultracote.

So, in short, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. It shuts down learning and keeps people from asking questions because they fear they are asking the "stupid" question.Or, just don't post in my threads.

Thanks,

Chris
