Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / June 2006Hirobo Cup - pics
Wow those who didn't go you missed a great couple days. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Sunday there was almost no one left, but Saturday was packed! I put some pics up on my web site and board of some of the pics I took. Take a peek if you get a chance. www.professorwiz.com spamming git! What is spamming about putting some Hirobo cup pics up on my site? I'd post the pics here but everybody bitches about the "this isn't a binary newsgroup" bit. > spamming git! Also, Spamming is sending unwanted emails, have I emailed you? At least I have the fortitude to put my email address in my correspondence. And have you looked at Runryders? Or the Unofficial Team Raptor site? All those sites have got a ton of ads for stuff for sale, if your refering to the 2 items I sell on my site that aren't even on the page with the pics. > What is spamming about putting some Hirobo cup pics up on my site?

At least I have > the fortitude to put my email address in my correspondence. 3 things. 1.your site isn't a personal site. you sell stuff. the hirobo photos are just the hook. 2.spam isn't just about emails. you put a link on this site to stuff you sell. 3.i did put my normal address up once but I'm still receiving adverts for cheap meds, university diplomas, etc.. > And have you looked at Runryders?

Not in the spirit of the charter at all. > then its not spam is it??? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >>> read the charter before you carry on Ian just encase you have not read >>> it I posted earlier?? as advertising is allowed that where we differ in the interpretation of the charter it does not mention preowned you have added that part, and as a newbie here it might be better to not piss off to many of the group as you never know who could help you next just my two pennies worth & don't bother in replying to this thread I am not going to read it any more as I have set my newsreader to ignore it SignatureMy reply address does work > yes it is. the charter is for people advertising parts wanted or for > people selling their own models meaning preowned. he may be a self [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >>>> read the charter before you carry on Ian just encase you have not read >>>> it I posted earlier?? as advertising is allowed I have yet to see any news group, even the market place one, that allows company type selling or advertising. The point of individuals selling is obvious especially with the addendum of parts wanted. If anything it is parts wanted with the addendum of allowing for sale. Being an individual not a company the obvious way to have something to sell is to already own it. As for pissing anyone off that would only be you as you are obviously taking this far too personally. marking this thread as ignore is the playground equivalent of na na ne na na, i'm not listening. and putting your fingers in your ears. I also notice you don't use a real email address no doubt for the same reason i don't and the rest of us don't and 'lacking in fortitude' has nothing to do with it. Neither of us has resorted to name calling and the argument here is less personal than the lipo/balancer argument. I would suggest taking a deep breath and re reading the whole thing more objectively. > that where we differ in the interpretation of the charter it does not > mention preowned you have added that part, and as a newbie here it might > be better to not piss off to many of the group as you never know who could > help you next just my two pennies worth & don't bother in replying to this > thread I am not going to read it any more as I have set my newsreader to > ignore it You'd make a good moderator, Have your say then lock the thread. w.nker > that where we differ in the interpretation of the charter it does not > mention preowned you have added that part, and as a newbie here it might > be better to not piss off to many of the group as you never know who could > help you next just my two pennies worth & don't bother in replying to this > thread I am not going to read it any more as I have set my newsreader to > ignore it Ok, so just for the arguments here, if I had put the exact address link to the pictures would that have been considered a "Spam". And again, this is not really a "business" or Big " business" the 2 items or so that I offer for sale on my site through the store area are parts I made myself and made extras to recoup the cost of materials, but to date I have never actually sold anything on my web site. I have sold some items though ebay. My site is mostly a personal - hey check out what I'm doing site. Did you look below the Hiboro event pics to see the other notes ect. I am flattered you suppose it to be a corporate site but I since I've never made a dime on the site I can't consider it at such. I've always offered to host people's heli pics and movies for free and am really suprised how nasty some of the newsgroups are these days. Can't we all just move forward to better the hobby? I've noticed the lack of posts vs 2 and 3 years ago, but the heli hobby specially electrics has been growing. Perhaps we need to get them to use the newsgroups instead of the web based forums. Now there is a worthy discussion. Russ > You'd make a good moderator, > Have your say then lock the thread.

Yes, I have a Dyna Mechtronics 3 axis cnc machine. That I run a Support board on my web site for too. Of course I got it in disrepair and cobbled it back semi working. I couldn't find any info on the unit at all on the Internet so I made a board for it. And of course I've been busy answering questions about it for free and having people get ticked off because they think I'm getting paid by Dyna or something and not giving them hours of hand holding. That might go away soon. I've been a machinist for over 12 or so years now and just love to make stuff for my heli's, much better when I crash and I've got a stash of parts to replace them with.. I'm planning on doing something with Aireal photography. I'm cobbling something up in balsa first then I'll cnc it out of thin aluminum. I don't like Carbon Fiber, no give just breakage, and milling the stuff is horible for your lungs. >> My site is mostly a personal - hey check out what I'm doing site.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > yeah over on rec.models.rc.air the general feeling is 'you want to fly > electric? you have my condolences' I have to totally disagree with you there. I know 3 people know who have that goofy Blade CX. They are totally happy with the helicopters and can't wait to get something bigger. After a month or so they were all asking what heli do I get next! Way better to get them to try something out like that and enjoy it then try to pry $1200 out of them to get them to try it. > Perhaps we need to get >> them to use the newsgroups instead of the web based forums.

How much is one of those things? i've seen a cnc all metal head for my walkera 22e for £78. The whole copter only cost £90 > I'm planning on doing something with Aireal photography.

It was recommended i don't get Carbon Fibre rotors cos that means something else has to give along the drive train. . >> yeah over on rec.models.rc.air the general feeling is 'you want to fly >> electric? you have my condolences' > > I have to totally disagree with you there.

Told no swash plate. researched and got a twister bell. now got a walkera 22E. smashed it in seconds. Just ordered a walkera 4. All electric. joined a club. got insurance. all hobby shops i tried wanted me to go from twister bell to full blown 3d belt drive etc. i'm not ready yet. The walkera crash confirmed it. They don't make buddy boxes for nothing. > "Awesomewiz" <russw@professorwiz.com> wrote in >> >>> sounds very enterprising. impressive actually. do you have a CnC [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > i've seen a cnc all metal head for my walkera 22e for £78. The whole > copter only cost £90 Well mine was only about $5000, they range in the small end up to $40,000 with the tool changer that mine has. >> I'm planning on doing something with Aireal photography.

No, actually I'll get my dimensions for the mounting for the servo to operate the camera and such. Its way easier to cut balsa than aluminum. I can wittle here and there to make it all work, get the shutter to work and all. Where to mount the servo for the tilt and where to put the bearing for the tilt mech. > I don't like >> Carbon Fiber, >> no give just breakage, and milling the stuff is horible for your lungs. > > It was recommended i don't get Carbon Fibre rotors cos that means > something else has to give along the drive train. I've got carbon fiber blades, but I was more worried about carbon fiber frames and such. >>> yeah over on rec.models.rc.air the general feeling is 'you want to fly >>> electric? you have my condolences' [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > don't make buddy boxes for nothing. : ), I hear you, just crashed both my Raptor 30, and Raptor 60. crashing sucks!! When I saw the post accusing you of being a spammer I thought it was a close call, but as you say if the link had gone straight to the pics that in my eyes would have been no problem, in fact the reason I'm replying to this thread is that most of the interesting sites I have found have been through links from the news group, once I,ve looked at the pics I cant help being nosy and having a look at the rest of the site anyway, i.e the site Beav has carries a host of info that even marco may find of interest :-) :-) Rob > Ok, so just for the arguments here, if I had put the exact address link to > the pictures would that have been considered a "Spam".

It actually is "members" for some reason. It was lazyness on my part just to put the front page and I figured with the bold lettering everyone wouldn't mind one more click to get to the pics. Now who's going to IRCHA?!?!?!? > When I saw the post accusing you of being a spammer I thought it was a > close call, but as you say if the link had gone straight to the pics that [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >>>> replying to this thread I am not going to read it any more as I have >>>> set my newsreader to ignore it > Now who's going to IRCHA?!?!?!? ???? It's the largest meet in the Country, being held in Muncie Indiana! On July 7,8,9,10,11 2006 Here's a link to the AMA listing of it. http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/ Looks like a really good time. Russ >> Now who's going to IRCHA?!?!?!? > > ???? |
