Anyone notice that there seem to be a lot of commercial messages on this forum, and nobody really posting anything else?
Just thought I'd S?P
My fireproof suit is on.

As a seller and promoter of racing products, let me assure you I don't get rich off this stuff. I offer hard to find things to help other racers. "Where do I get XXXX?" is a common question, so I try to make the answer easy to find. As the President of NCLRA, I do however wish people were writing and sharing more about racing.

I'd rather see the commercial messages than some of the stuff that is posted on hers.

Bill, and all,
I was lamenting the lack of posting here and using the commercialization in the latest messages to try to make my point. I was in no way trying to stifle free trade and commerce. I guess I did a poor job at humor.
I will continue to support the cottage industries on this forum as best as I can. I have had several part time/full time small businesses, and as Bill said, you "don't get rich doing this."
Anyway, it was too quiet in here and I thought to shake it up a bit. So, start posting already! This your forum, not just the people who do all the work! R%%%%

I ordered a handle,some tanks and a fuel bottle from Bill last week. He had them to me in no time. The craftsmanship is of a very high caliber. I hope to eventually get to Dallas from Carlsbad to try some speed and racing flying. I am glad people like Bill and other small producers are around to promote the hobby. I will try to post some pictures of some new planes, if I ever manage to get them built. In my small town I am probably the only control line flyer, so online is where I get most of my information and inspiration.

I am in the same boat (plane?) and look to sites like this for information. Just looking to stimulate some conversation. Looks like I may have done just that! y1

Bob, have you been to nclra.org yet?

Yup! I sure have! What a great site!
I especially enjoyed the torque roll newsletter dedicated to Mouse Racing. Good input from everyone. It answered a lot of my questions.
Also, I'm now building two Clowns. One for NCLRA rules and one for northeast rules like Middlesex and Brodaks. I hope to make it to the Nats in 2017, but we'll have to see how the money spends, if you know what I mean.
I have spoken to Jim Brady off and on, mostly before last years Nats, and he was very helpful too. I have said this many times over the last thirty five years, that I wish everyone were as nice and helpful and just great to be around as model plane people. Still true.
Anyway, Thanks Bill, and hope to meet you soon.
