RE: Toy Aeroplanes?

seems to me like the ones who call our planes "toys", don't have hobbies, play golf, tennis etc etc, in other words, they don't have a life

Whether of not I get offended when someone calls them ''toys'' depends on who is saying it. If you guys call them ''toys'', it's cool. You guys understand what is involved, and they really are just bigger, more expensive toys than some. But when some arrogant ass wants to attach that label to them in a derogatory sense, my hackles rise. I don't want anyone who doesn't understand what is involved to bad mouth them.

Very good point and very true. If that upsets people then how about this. I spend months building a new plane, usually from plans and other pilots come over and ask who makes it??? I just figure it's a sign of the times and tell them it's from Nitroplanes.com and only $110.00. I have been know to have people looking for some very big and rarely seen planes at there web site. I think it's high humor and can do it with a straight face.[8D]
