RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

No, I didn't sleep through it. I actually voted in fact. Both elections you mention are definitely positive steps in the right direction as far as the EC. Unfortunately though, Dave Mathewson was...

RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

Well I look at it like that all they've really done is ride on the coattails of the ARRL as far as BPL is concerned but I guess that's open to interpetation. Anyway, whether it's this silly DVD or...

RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

Well gee whiz...I guess everyone just works for free! If that thing clears a profit, it will be a sad statement indeed. Keep kidding yourself if you wish, in the end, there's a cost to the AMA...

RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

Um excuse me.... last I checked U.S. postage is measured in good old U.S. dollars. How can they have not spent any money when it cost postage to send them out and postage on the return cartons? I...

RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

I didn't ask for it! I object to them spending money to even produce it number one. Number two how much do you think the postage adds up to on all those things they sent out, plus the postage on the...

RE: 4th SPAM Mail from AMA, crying about the 9 dollars or return dvd

I didn't ask for the thing. They sent it and said I was under no obligation to send it back. Now like everyone else I'm getting bombarded with request to send nine dollars or send it back. Since I'm...

RE: Correct CG on a Hobbico Superstar?

Well I've tried to take into account everything you have pointed out about not getting the plane to far forward. Right now I have about 3 and 1/2 to 3 and 5/8 inches from the tips of the floats...

RE: Correct CG on a Hobbico Superstar?

I'm not worried about this plane being an aerobat. After all, it is a trainer and it will have the floats. If I can move the CG forward a little it will keep it better in line with where it needs to...

RE: Falcon or GP ARF floats?

RE: Cheap introduction to foamie 3d?

I would go with the highest capacity ESC I could afford. That way if you do eventually have the funds to buy a hotter motor you won't be replacing your ESC as well. My foamy setup is as follows......
