Old and Bold RC PILOT
Be careful! I make a number of FB designs for retail sale and as I do have "Seconds" from time to time my normal method of disposal is to gift them to others. Unfortunately every now and then I hit a need or desire in my local club and it becomes a little uncomfortable.
For instance earlier this week I gifted a KFM4 Flying wing of great simplicity and robustness to someone who had gifted me a damaged retail foamie. The wing was a repaired second in that the top layer had shifted while the glue was drying. So I cut off the projecting pieces and glued to fill the required layer area. This left a glue line on the layer which was highly visible and so could not be sold.
Anyway, His friend then reminded me that he had gifted me a plane a while ago and so I just finished off one of the earlier glue testers and presented it to him. Suddenly all of those who witnessed the performance of the gifted wing, including those who have massive models some are expensive and large warbirds, have been letting me know that they have not received one yet!
It appears that they respect the model performance well enough. Oh well! They do say that "No good deed goes unpunished!".
Have fun!
