Yeah some take political correctness to extremes!
SNAE sounds so much better imagine saying yeah I belong to SMAE!

Doesn't matter what it's called bottom line is when a 40+ year old idiot falls out of a tree whilst collecting
an escaped model the insurance payout sure comes in handy.

We should Boycott the BMFA and put the SMAE logo on our planes!

microflitedude Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:36 pm

nitroairplane Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:40 pm

The old version of the british version of the AMA
the "Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers"

Oops, it happened again.

We were talking about airplanes powered by .010 TD's, and now we end up talking about the SMAE, BMFA, and the AMA. Very Happy

Need to request another one.

They just sent me a "digital" card. Now I have to go get it laminated. I guess sending real ones got too expensive.

I can only imagine 8 010's being like painting the Severn Bridge.
I.e.when you finish starting them all you've gotta start all over starting
Them all.

nitroairplane Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:18 pm

Well I suppose it is quicker than painting the goose Smile

Ivanhoe Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:19 pm

I note that I got no response for the plans I posted, so I assume they're no use

nitroairplane Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:20 pm

Probably got forgotten dues to the high volume of posts so feel free to re-post.
