It means based on my and other modelers' judgment, your indoor
modeling "reality" so far doesn't really apply to our *experienced*
modeling reality, therefore you had better purchase some credibility
with some amount of PROOF. Namely, that you can build and fly a balsa
prop indoor model to a PASSABLE, if not respectable time. My
suggestion for accomplishing this was my "LPP Challenge." It's the
simplest AMA duration class there is, IIRC. Nothing wrong with a Delta
Dart or other prefabbed plastic prop designs if you want to major in a
models that six year olds are introduced to. But as Kagan said well,
the indoor models we usually are talking about (self-built balsa props)
is a higher order, meaning having more problems, and more complex.

If someone labels their discussion to talk about Delta Darts (Cubs)
flown indoor, that's fine here. There's even a sublimely done web
resource by Bill Kuhl dedicated to AMA Cub. (Should have link in Links
section.)

<<I am not clear what you mean by this. Please explain.>>

It means, as John Barker (England) onced poste here concerning
you, "GIVE US A BREAK." Build and fly a real indoor model, such as a
Limited Pennyplane. Report your times. Talk about what you
discovered, and the problems you had. If your times are extraordinary,
then you maybe you can continue to be Mr. Omniscient Indoorist. If not,
we'll still try to be nice, because we've been there and we
understand. But if you cannot pay this MINIMUM PRICE for admission to
tell us how to do things, then you will be banned. Yes, it's THAT
annoying, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.


Please see my post 3171, and JKagans 3179, which says it even better.
