The discussion about beauty brought to mind a comment that Dave Sanders
made about non-scale R/C sailplanes. He called 'em "Tool" planes. I never
heard anybody call a shovel "ugly". And about the Mantis: after two days in
the hot sun at the '99 AMA/LSF Nats, watching Mantis's (Manti?) nail landing
after landing, they started to look pretty nice. And, while on the topic of
beauty, I don't think GM would sell many natural colored 'Vettes - why is
natural fiberglass so popular for R/C sailplanes? Note: The weight issue
has already received enough bandwidth.
Stirring the pot,
