Howard, as you no doubt know but are chosing to ignore, many of the more advanced religions on this planet recognize the living status of ALL things, even those you think of as simple material bits. This is why if you curse a stunter, it will typically respond by being a worthless POC. Meanwhile, a beloved model, even if it has a canted stab/elevator, and other aerodynamics which are crookeder than the proverbial dog's leg, it often returns the affection, making itself a beloved creature.
I want you to back down off all this negative crap, my friend. Model airplanes are PEOPLE TOO!
