> I've sat back and observed this BOM controversy and the so called arrogance of Indoor flyers .Iwas there at all of Don's examples The reason I don't fly any FAC scale events is because of the same comments heard when taking my Fike model in for judging and having the same model getting widely different scale points depending on who was judging. So I chose events that were not subjective... just look at the watch .It's the same reason I only like certain Olympic events...just look at the watch!!! the time will tell whose the better airplane.no muss no fuss...I've only built 3 Peanut Scale Models since 1979, none of which received official approval of FAC members or judges.Did I get Mad ?No....I just chose to build modele that I like. If some guys want models that look scale and fly for 2 mins. that's fine too but not for me ...No Cal is as close to scale as I get now a days .Don and I fly them like Indoor duration.I fly and build for a hobby so I never question anyone as to why they build any type of model... if you enjoy it build it.

> 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?

> 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

> 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.

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.
