<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>My vote would be to up the
penalty for flying too far out. Hard to tell if it is 150 or 175, but
200 meters to me is a ZERO...outta the box. But I can only give a serious 2pt
downgrade. It bothers me when people fly 200-225 meters out with a downgrade.
Problem here of course is the FAI's are about the worse offenders -i.e. can't
do a rolling circle within 175 meters-fly it right or get rid of it.
Considering that us low class types follow their lead (butt sniffin' in
reality) no wonder I see 250 meter patterns.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>The box dimensions are just fine. Slow the plane down and everything
fits (for those of you who need a plane that WILL slow down see
www.aeroslave.com-thankyouverymuch). For those who still have a "hate
thing" for turn around, to me turn around is what makes it flow, and is what
makes it cool. Yeah its hard and I suck, so what? <BR>While I am on a rant,
how stupid is that we got rid of T.O. and landings??? Too hard also? Actually
WE did not get rid of them.....</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

more! I got a P-51 coin and a DVD in the mail from the AMA yesterday
UNSOLICITED but now they want me to either mail it back or give them $9. WTF
is that all about. Now I am considering keeping the coin just because it is a
P-51, but I can just imagine whats on the DVD...a control line P-51 doing
"stunts"....wow, maybe some free flight?? I hate the MA mag....I can only
imagine whats on the DVD.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>If I am too
lazy to mail the DVD back and do not pay the $9 what happens to me? AMA hate
mail? AMA collection agency? "Bruno" Dave Brown at my door step or the AMA
Gansta-rappers/collections.......</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
