Sorry your friends had a bad experience, but I think indoor folks are
great guys and very helpful. But going down the name calling road is
ridiculous. I can list a few FAC things which I have witnessed or have
had done to me over the years, shall I then define or perceive all FAC
based on what happened to me or people I know?
1) Banned a Nocal on site at an event for violating the spirit of the event
2) Erasing an official EZB score of a score sheet because the CD (a
current high rank FAC person) did not agree that steering an indoor
model should really be allowed and after some consideration felt the
flight should not count (even though it was a legal steer) so erased the
flight but did not bother to tell the contestant until the awards were
being handed out.
3) The following year, told my dad that only he (the CD) would be
allowed to tell a modeler when he was allowed to steer and that was
literally 1 second before it hit the wall he said "Now", and if my dad
tried to steer his EZB before that his was told his flight would be DQ
4) After winning a Nocal mass launch the CD then decided that he wanted
to fly one more round and do it all over again.
5) Yelled at a well known indoor modeler at the Bufflalo Bills
fieldhouse because the indoor modeler (and the rest of us) did not want
to hear music played on the speaker system in the whole building
6)banned a persons model because it won too many times
7) having a FAC judge accidentally skip judging my model after saying "
not another one of those" when I dropped it off for judging, then he
left after judging so I could not enter the event.
What conclusion or perception shall I draw about the FAC based on these
things which have happened? I am sorry someone's feelings got hurt at
some event in the past but if that is the reason they will not fly F1D
or indoor then I think that is still just an excuse.
My dad once had a person run in front of him when he was getting ready
to launch his EZB at the USIC and the person's wake broke his wing and
stab and he was not able to repair the plane in time, and also had a guy
open a door about 15ft away from his bench and the wind sucked his model
model off the table and into the doorway breaking the wing and stab as
it tumbled. I understand outsiders may not understand such details that
something as simple as opening a door can destroy a model. But that is
the nature of indoor.
