    All too true......... For most people if it's a matter of lowest price/low quality or higher price/better quality the lowest price wins out in most instances,as evidenced by that survey Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    ***Real 10 way rules: Small door Beech. No show exit. No grips. First out, base and pin. At a "Southwest Conference " speed star meet( many moons ago) thats the way I remember it ( or maybe we had Twin OttersI can't remember for sure)....we had some sub 20 second times and still placed second Not to bad for a pick-up team At a Zhills speed star meet,with another pick-up team out of DC3's we took 22nd out of 100+ teams Sometimes if we got it high enough,after holding it for the required time we would sequence it once or twice as altitude permitted

    I am about a 10 minute drive from 2 Wal-Marts......and I refuse to set foot in either one, even if I pay more somewhere else.....at least they aren't getting my money.If I choose to buy a manufactured good from somewhere other than the PRC and have to pay more for it,then I do it....... It's a matter of principle, not price for me......... A point that is lost on a few around here.... Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    QuoteWhat have you got against buying goods from China? Is this a trade deficit issue with you? Of is it about the loss of American jobs? Yes to both Loss of US jobs in the manufacturing sector and a monumental trade deficit........ Add that to the fact most of their workforce is paid a low wage and Wal-Marts' attempts not to let them unionize Plus they run numerous small businessmen out of business when they do set up shop in small to medium sized towns....... I feel that people that patronize Wal-Mart are putting their neighbors out of work....... Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    I never patronize Wal-Mart because of my belief they are doing more harm to the economy than good.Plus the fact that they purchase 18 billion USD in goods from the PRC every year,and 5000 of their 6000 suppliers are in the PRC.....they should call it China-Mart Long,but interesting read............ www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7693580/site/newsweek/ Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    Its pretty gutless of them to settle...... and I wont buy anymore of them,not that I was that big a fan of theirs to start with. When Bill Ruger sold out regarding the 10 rd mag capacity in the early 90's I quit buying Rugers too Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    Quote To kind of put this in perspective, they were animals, and we as a society kiil thousands daily in the name of food and sport. Oh my! Not anywhere close to a valid comparison in my book........... Meat packing plants and game hunting cannot really be compared in the same sentence to burning trapped puppies in a kennel Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    QuoteYours must have been the only one (well, unless you had the slider on it). Mine got me used to quick openings; now almost anything else is a snivel. It was probably the way I packed it.......I always rolled it real tight before I stuffed it in the bag...... It was almost as slow as my Stratostar which also went into a bag..........it snivelled as well,so no base jumping or low pulls with that either I made the mistake of borrowing my wifes wonderhog and 'star to make a load rather than repacking mine.........her star had a slider-diaper on it instead of a bagAfter break-off,I didnt set up( I never did with mine),I released the pilot chute and "instant canopy"(knees hit your face,and your seeing stars for a couple of minutes) I understood then why she could smoke it so low and not get nervous about it Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    ***28' 7-TU with a 24' cotton twill reserve. Started out with the same setup Then an American Pap in a Guardian????container. My last round was a Starlite that snivelled every time it opened Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    ***"opponents of guns in bars cannot point to any documented incidents of trouble with armed patrons in the 33 other states with laws similar to the vetoed Senate Bill" A "non issue" here in Colo. as well CCW in bars here.......no misuse by CCW holders So far, the carnage has failed to materialise,much to the dismay of the "Brady Bunch" Sorry for getting here so late,I didnt know this was a gun thread Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

    Getting out of a Lockheed Lodestall at Zhills that had "lost its lift" at 15K But on the other hand,some night loads I went one with scary,unaware,clueless people were probably the MOST dangerous Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
