Dan! You are not going to sell magazines that way...

Good thing I don't rely on magazine sales, huh?

Funny, though. People are always asking me for my opinions on
mechanical stuff. Sometimes they don't like the answers. Sometimes
they want to buy an airplane, so I tell them what to look for and be
aware of and be scared of and that the pretty airplane can clean out
your bank account real fast. They don't like that because they want
that airplane so bad. They buy it and find out I was right. Usually.
I'm supposed to be working on my Hummelbird. That's why I
asked Veeduber about the 1/2 VW, and he says they aren't so good. I
believe that, and have to take it into account. Maybe, if I don't fly
much, it'll be good enough, as long as I expect to be doing the valves
every 50 hours or so. I have been warned, see. I 'm considering
sticking the whole four-cylinder VW on it, like Bruce King did; a
weight penalty, but a little less work expected from each jug.
Sometimes we don't like the opinions of others. We need to
evaluate the source, and if it's experienced in the matter at hand, we
should shut up and listen.
Even if it hurts magazine sales.

Dan: Totally agree. Being the Publisher of Experimental Helo magazine I
had to address the problem of publishing ethics vs money. Ethics won out.
