Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / March 2007Super Sportster rename the FROG
My Super Sportster has been dubbed "The Frog" as the weight of the seven cell battery pack seems to permit the plane to hop rather than take off. I have three batteries; so, I might just get the next larger motor and see if that will let it take off. George in Winter Haven, FL  SignatureHave a Great Week ! Check Winter Haven's Current Weather http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=Winter+Haven+33881 Good luck George!

Got a Video? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> George in Winter Haven, FL Whoa!! Please read my post again. I simply sincerely wished the OP good luck in finding a solution to his problem. The "Got a video" was an afterthought. I thought that it would be entertaining watching the Frog leaping down the runway in a vain attempt to get airborne. Nothing mean intended. I try not to offer solutions when others have/will respond. I hate reading posts with the same solution offered by numerous other responders - it's a waste of time. If you check any of my posts you'll see that I never flame, insult, or otherwise denigrate anyone or anything. If more were like me (and Al ;-)) the Internet would be much more pleasant. > Ed, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> >>> George in Winter Haven, FL Ed, I guess I took your comment as you meant it, and really think one has to stretch to see anything "mean" in your response. I think it would be hoot to see the frog in action, too. Harlan > Whoa!! Please read my post again. I simply sincerely wished the OP good > luck in finding a solution to his problem.

Neither of you take the feelings of guy into consideration. He spends all that $$ on the model and it flies like a boat anchor. So he comes to this forum for help and Ed makes fun of him. Harlan, if you don't see why I made my remark to Ed, you are both oblivious to the feelings of others. CR Forsythe wrote: > Thanks Harlan :-) > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >>> anything.

Charles, the point is, I don't think Ed made fun out of him at all, and I can't see how you would interpret Ed's comment that way. I think you would have to be in a negative state of mind to put that kind of spin on it. But, look, people respond differently to different words. The words Ed chose to use apparently lit your fuse, and it shouldn't be a surprise that it happens. I'm sure I've misinterpreted certain comments, too. I've probably made some that were not taken as intended, as well. That's just one of the downsides to this kind of communication. But its better than no communication.

It is so easy to misinterpret written messages that I am surprised that we do not have more difficulty than we do. My offbeat sense of humor is constantly getting me in trouble on the internet, but I persist any way. I'm not hesitant to repost and offer an apology if necessary. After all, I meant no harm on insult to begin with. Ed Cregger Charles and Peggy I sincerely apologize for making a remark which could be interpreted as rude or mean. After reading my post I think I can understand why you feel as you do. It's easy to *send* but I can't locate a "changed my mind" button anywhere!

It seems unlikely (to me) that the OP would be offended at the "got video" crack, since posting the comment that the new plane was "like a frog" comes off as poking a bit of humor (at himself) about it's behavior, in the first place. That is my take, anyway. SignatureJim in NC > My Super Sportster has been dubbed "The Frog" as the weight of the seven > cell battery pack seems to permit the plane to hop rather than take off.

Mine does. CR > My Super Sportster has been dubbed "The Frog" as the weight of the seven > cell battery pack seems to permit the plane to hop rather than take off.
