RE: 9303 Broken Rolling Selector
[quote]ORIGINAL: Pepito I need to buy a replacement for my 9303's rolling selector. I just need to get the actual rolling cylinder; it is made out of plastic and broke at its weakest point. Sending the transmitter to Horizon is not a good option for me and replacing that thing is a no brainer. Anybody knows?????

Surprisingly, they actually landed within about a week of the shippers estimate, but US Customs is an entirely different ball game. That's where the bottle neck is now. Maybe Uncle Sam will give us a reprieve. I wanted to carry a boat load with me to Joe Nall, but we are leaving on Tues. in the PM. Getting narrow. :)

RE: New LST XXL DX3S Scroll Button Repair
[quote]ORIGINAL: sonicj that looks really good! any plans to offer a knurled version? are they annodized? i believe the original hex shaft flexed when clicked so as not to damage or stress the rotary pot. how does your aluminum wheel address this? or is it a non issue? [/quote] There are always irons in the fire :) We have discussed anodizing a few to see how it goes. Anodizing will erode some material, but also add a bit of texture to the metal. As for damaging the pot, you would probably have to operate the button with a hammer to cause any damage. ..more to come

RE: New ARF Manufacturer?
[quote]ORIGINAL: TexasSkyPilot I've seen Boeing and others try this crap. People who tried to comply soon went out of business, there isn't enough margin in this industry to support the extra expense. I don't care who thinks what is right, they're MODELS....which means they're MODELED generally after an original plane. That's like getting a haircut like a movie star. The SMART retailers simply changed one or two details.... enough so that it didn't look exactly the same or so that the names weren't in the decals, etc. You can always buy the decal sheet or have the vinyls made up for it. These are models and the full-scale companies should be THANKING the model industry for the recognition rather than trying to charge an industry that simply cannot afford to pay to emulate any full-scale that plane afficionados admire. In the end these are our PLAYTHINGS. I'm not trolling here and I won't respond to the flamers, Full-scale companies that try to charge the modeling industry for licensing SUCK. Their planes should fade into oblivion in response to their unbelievable greed and unrealistic business practices if there is anything like Karma that really exists out there. You won't change my mind, this is my opinion and in this case I've thought about it for years. So....screw anybody trying to charge for a license for a PITTS. What a load of horsecrap. Have a lovely day! Jim [/quote] I don't think you fully understand what the deal is here. Kimball did not charge QQ for a license. He gave the license to him. Probably for all of the work QQ put into helping the Kimballs throughout development of the full scale. There are lots of folks who would likely be granted a license for nothing if they would ask, but they do not. I'm not talking about R/C planes..I'm talking about everything that is copied. I guess I am old fashioned and am a person of principle. I don't see this scenario any different than having to license a bands song to use it in a movie, commercial, etc..Property is property and if someone else is making money off of your work, you should at least get credit for it. That's just me. Put one of the Rolling Stones songs in a movie and leave their name out of the credits and see what happens. And Aussie Steve....I know you meant to offend me with your "I've never seen you guys advertise" comment. It didn't. I would completely understand if you had not heard of us. No malice intended, but you are an Australian whom apparently lives in China. We advertise in American R/C magazines and several other R/C forums...we [i]use to[/i] advertise here at RCU...if any of that makes you feel any better. And the SU that we list...has been discontinued by us for at least 6 months. Regardless, that airplane has only been available for just over a year. How long ago was it when Su were seeking licensing? Legal? Taxes? The owners of Blazing Wings may very well be legitimate operators of their business, however You and I both know of others who snake around the system. This is kind of like the Metallica vs. Napster battle. Feel free to PM me

RE: New ARF Manufacturer?
[quote]ORIGINAL: aussiesteve I personally know the 2 main manufacturers of most of his products). [/quote] "I see", said the blind man. There are few....and very few airplanes that hold a licensing agreement with anyone or have such practices in place. My point is that when the practices ARE in place and licenses are well known and established, it would be courteous, but not necessary, for everyone to play by the book. That clearly is not going to happen..never has, never will. If we have anything in our shop that is in violation of another manufacturers rights and licensing of producing the airplane, we will remove it. You just show me which ones and I'll get the truck warmed up. Attack? Come on, man. Are you serious? 2-faced? How many Pitts S-12's or Red Bull Sodas have you seen us advertise? I don't think the discussion between the two of us can really go anywhere, as you're impartiality may prove to be an obstacle. About the "Syndrome"...practice what you preach, bud. I have nothing to gain, not interested in gaining anything. I am standing up for two guys who put a LOT of work into the development of the airframe, two guys who have something to lose, two guys that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. If you happen to not feel the same, I apologize.

RE: New ARF Manufacturer?
[quote]ORIGINAL: aussiesteve I know it ain't my business but since when did the guys you mentioned have the licence for the S12? [/quote] Jim Kimball.....the guy who owns the rights on the full scale Pitts S-12. He said it..not me. [quote]ORIGINAL: aussiesteve I know that one claims to be the only authorised model of the Kimball enterprises plane (the Python that is a derivative of the S12) but if the modelling world needs a licence to produce a model of a well known and well accepted full sized plane, then I think most manufacturers had better close their doors immediately. I wonder how many Yaks, Sukhois, Extras, Edges, Spitfires, Mustangs, Cessnas, P47's etc etc (I think you get the drift) are licensed versions. Now using a registered Logo that has an associated product name on the scheme - well that is a different matter altogether (For example the Red Bull Logo that needs to be officially authorised - at a fee).[/quote] I understand your argument. From the perspective of a manufacturer, it isn't as easy to make money reproducing something when you have to play fair, that's why most do not. Unfortunately, it really makes it difficult for those who do play by the rules and try to maintain integrity. The right to the reproduction of models of warbirds has already been drug out through congress and is fair game for anyone, at least in the USA...for now. Why is the Pitt's or Jim Kimball logos any different from the Red Bull logo? They are both products owned by corporations, are they not?
