Adam Richardson Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Had I not needed to replace the Turnigy servos in my other model I wouldn't of sold it. This was the only way I could raise some cash quick, Flown the green one in 2 comps and broke it in both, obviously we were not meant to be. Just hope Andy never beats me with it now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satinet Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I simply take issue with post flying BS (and outright lies), whatever you want to call it. Great if anyone has had a good time but don't always come back claiming things were done that blatantly weren't (e.g specced out a speedo, did a roll, flew within a mile of the slope edge etc.) My model is the best etc (always….). Seems especially daft when there are people who actually witnessed the flying. I don't know why some people feel the need do it, but hey ho, I'm the villain for pointing it out. We all like to see nice models flown on nice slopes. I think that we can all appreciate a successful maiden, especially with a large model. Better to keep the other stuff in check IMHO.

Phil.Taylor Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 +1we all like to hear of what other folks are up to - but in a friendly way & without self-aggrandisement or putting others downcongrats on a successful maiden for the ASW20 Phil.

My apologies Andy, i didnt realise that such a comment would cause such offence. Why dont we change topics or this this is likely to return to FMCR lows? How about this!
