Charles..
Here is the deal. Simply shut up yeah?
Try to live by the axiom of "if you have nothing important to add then dont add anything"
You have nothing to add. Ive read SO many of your posts and sometimes they are NOTHING more than a bid to spruke your computer graphics.
Here is the deal. Im sick of reading how nice and somewhat polite people are being toward you, when you time and time again just talk rubbish.
Your planes are average. Not spectacular, but certainly by any "stunt" standard a solid 12 pointer. Nothing to hang your hat on.
This thread was about someone elses plane. Get it ? Someone elses.
Start a new thread for yourself letting people know you did some lettering on a peacemaker, painted it in rattle can paint have had no flights of it, let the thread have zero people comment and realise noone cares.
There is NO POLITE way to say this other than ,realise the people you're dealing with are VERY experienced.
You want to have a voice ? Why ?
Noone is interested in your opinion, the reason is your rude, opinionated, lack serious stunt credentials and constantly do nothing but hijack threads and talk about your own painting skill, which is ( if this your best attribute, is the same skill level as many 15 year old street artists)
Here are some more thruths.
Aeroplanes are toys. We all enjoy different elements of the sport, some build, some fly, some paint, some compete, some want social interaction and friendship.
The forums in all their forms from the BBS of alt.stunt days to Leonards SSW to Roberts Stunthanger, has always had its fair share of both "informative" and "destructive" people.
You're clearly ( judging by the countless similar comments ) doing something wrong.
Im not asking you to leave the forum or disappear, but I am asking you to keep on topic.. keep it relevant to the topic. Why ? Because the people whomread this forum are interested in aviation not aviojet.
If your after attention and you want to do a positive piece, try writing an article for stunt news, try to volunteer at the Nationals with tabulation..
If your wanting negative attention, by calling " poor me, noone likes my planes, its a conspiracy, everybody trolls me and my inexpensive ways of painting" or any other variations of it are only 1/16th truth.
You're opinions never stay on topic.
Your opinions are usually of an inflammatory nature.
You constantly have a go at Brett, who mind you is more than capable of comprehension toward the style of individual he is responding to. ( saw a few of them come before you came along )
You cry "elitist" when others choose to purchase decent painting equipment for themselves.
You push your own brand in ways that frankly even if I was in the market for your work I wouldn't utilise your services.
So let me be as clear as I possibly can :
Unless its relevant to the topic and you feel your opinion is worth adding, just remain quiet.
Thats the polite way of saying " Shut UP " dont even reply to this, I wont be responding to you any further because I dont care what vitrole your response would entail.
I don't care for ANY P.R value, Im not getting on any bandwagon against you, or playing games. Im just sick of reading good threads hijacked by your obsession with self acclaim.
Shut UP.
Im not one of the most polite people out there and have no hesitation in calling a spade a spade.
