For more years than I care to count I have always deleted any message hinting towards bashing or unfair attacks. While I have indulged in my fair share of debates and disagreements I like to think they were professional and respectful, (and only conducted with people I respect).
I think responding in any form to these bashing threads only adds to the negativity. So this will be the first and hopefully last time I break tradition and respond. As someone who has contributed R/C soraing, and actively been involved with products, design, and sponsorship into this hobby, I know what a thankless task it can be. The problem is the thankless originates from those that don't have a clue. Those that understand are grateful and thankful. This is our hobby. Let's support those that are promoting, improving, and contributing to make it an even better hobby!!!!. Both Karlton and Sal have done great things for this hobby supporting major events an sponsoring US team members. These acts have a positive trickle down affect to the ENTIRE R/C community. The entire hobby has benefited greatly from their (and others) generosity and involvement. I recommend everyone ignore stupid posts and perhaps send personal emails recommending the complainers unsubscribe, and send thanks and praise to those who truely support our hobby. As a serious R/C enthusiast, and hopefully a future US F3B team representative, I am grateful to the support I have received both as a paying customer, and as a humble, respectfull, sponsored US team member. Thanks Karlton, your confidence and support. It has helped inspire my efforts to try and make it back to the F3B World Champs to try and match the legacy of 2 other pilots you have helped - Joe and Daryl. To those complainers, insytead of complaining, exercise your other option and DO IT YOUSELF!! Gavin RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
