You are of course right, just having fun with the debate....

Hey, that Navy conveyor belt LANDING SYSTEM idea has promise.

Since the airplane is landing, the belt would have to run in the direction the airplane is coming in, in order to stop the landing airplane, right. Since it was supposed to stop a takeoff by running against the aircrafts direction. And it would work about as well to stop the suckers as the belt running in the opposite direction did to stop the takeoffs.

I think we need to start a thread about an airplane landing on a treadmill. And the same quality of discussion would result. Dang if that ain't a winner................



a-mazing

da rock, you call yourself a moderator?




................................................
edited by one of the moderators to include the following:

Actually, RCU was the first to call me one.
And as one, I have to suggest something to everyone. This one liner can be considered humorous. It could be a play on the word "moderate", the adjective meaning mild. It can also be considered as negative judgment of ability. Since it was directed at me, it's up to me to interpret. BUT, moderators have to also interpret everything posted as to whether or not posts follow the rules. And I wouldn't want to shirk my duties. So I'm reminding everyone of just a couple of the rules you've all agreed to follow, the ones you see every time you do a quick response. And mention that there is another rule to consider as well.
Each post should pertain to the subject of the thread.
Anyway, time to go moderate my other forums. Keep it nice, and any time your topic is another poster consider the following cut/paste in red. And also understand that the forums are for the discussion of R/C and related topics, not other posters.

Please resist the urge to curse, flame, degrade, insult or embarrass someone in your post. We encourage the free flow of your ideas, but believe that they can be communicated (and received) much more effectively if you keep things civil. If you have to vent, take it offline. We carefully monitor posts and will ban individuals who engage in offensive conduct within the forums. Thanks. (RCU Policies)

Bruce, the difference here is that I know you well enough to take a good natured poke in the ribs and know that it is meant in good humor. This deal here is different, he should go back to the car forums if this is all he's got to offer.

Yep,it sure did...but Adam had to do some quick patching/running around to fix the leaks that were popping up everywhere...
(this IS still keeping in line with the content of the thread, right? er, um. I mean...oh nevermind )



I wonder if some of the "vitriolic" (according to Adam ) comments mentioned on the internet came from right here on RCU? Gee..ya suppose?
Now I gotta go look up what vitriolic means...(did I spell it right?

I've heard the scenery in a gym is much more eye-pleasing than the fat old men seen at the flying field!

We're in the hobby to fly planes. We're on the forum to have a pissing contest.

This is probably as insulting as a moderator can get and still get away with it. His spin move to delete my summation of his actions, then attempt to pull a "Nixon" on us here is laughable at best.
If you really do believe those red words that you posted, then at least live up to those standards.

I think we'll just lock this one.....
