You know I have been on RCU for awhile and lately I have really been paying attention and have noticed something very strange. If you happen to mention anything negative about or regarding BV or his product or one particular turbine manufacturer (who shall remained unnamed) you as the poster should expect to get blasted.
I am not saying it is right, but it is something that happens. Hell the post about the kingcat and the 160 mishap was taken off the forum incredibly fast. The official word on why was that he (the moderator) did not want to attract AMA attention to us by speaking of a fire, but the post titled turbine related fires with a huge fire in the first shot was allowed to exist. Yes I know it was not a turbine that crashed but still it is the same type of deal, do we want to draw attention to ourselves by putting the words turbine and fire in the same sentence? Not to mention as the heading of a post.
I too support BVM by buying his kits and products, but am I going to purposely pay his inflated prices for things I can get at 50% of his cost? NO! I don't pay unneccessary markups for anything else in my life, so why should I start with jets.

I expect to be keel hauled for what I just said but it had to be said.

Patrick.
