[AT] off topic ( kind of )

[Bo Hinch]

The problems with this hobby today is not so much with the aircraft but the
person controlling it . We have strict RULEs in our club and if a person
doesn`t want to abide by them , we help him pack and leave and is NOT
allowed back . That being said , I started this flying field in March 1971
and we have NEVER had an injury . As with tractors and engines , there is
usually one person that tries to push a little more than allowed and again
, he gets a warning and next has to leave the grounds .
Having said all that , I`ll stop before I get myself in a jam. And yes Cecil
, I will help you all I can but will do it off the list so as not to take
up to much bandwidth on the list .
Last but not least , THANKS to everyone for there kind comments and
interest in my OTHER hobby .
