Well Eric, I can't give out the names for two reasons. first, they don't want to handle the crap that comes their way when they offer their opinions on the state of Carrier. The other reason is because I am not privy to do so. I mean after all, it has been 8 years that I have tried to get a mailing address for the members of the NCS, only to be told that these names are not to be given out because of some threat of computer hacking or some such stuff.
Now Eric, I have always treated you well, including your willingness to have some of your ideas printed in the now demised CLW. I think you are indeed one of the top competitors in Carrier. Perhaps you and I just might grow to like each oher. My offerings have been well accepted, but my main thrust is that the Nats is not the only place where Carrier is flown. In over 200 Profile kits that I built two, maybe three have been entered in Muncie. Many others have been entered in the U.S. and Europe. Most have been flown by guys that simply don't want to compete. There is a large number of CL types that just like to fly fast then slow and then do whatever they want. All I am trying to do since 1984 is to promote the Carrier hobby to that and other groups and to heck with the Nats.
OK Eric, you win! Here is my last offer for you and others to consider.
1....Leave the Nats alone. It is loved by a very competitive dozen or so. Don't change a thing. (The AMA is likely to do that for you)
2....Promote the hell out of the NCS and flying with throttle control. Perhaps you might like that job for yourself, or another talented person
3... Tell Joe Just to go fishng and get the heck out of the Carrier scene.
Joe,
older than dirt, on his last leg (lost half of the right one in 1984), stupid and otherwise senile!
