Hi to the Min Air bunch!!

[Russ McC]

Hi All,

As some of you know Mark Rider pi$#ed me off when he called Min Air thieves and refused to own up to it.

This sight looks great I think This is the place to be, happy to be hear! :) [/b]

Same here. I just registered on this site yesterday. I am tired of Mark deleting stuff! Believe it or not he deleted my sig. because I listed my Fury's in it!! :roll:

Glad to have you Russ. There is a lot of the MA Team pilots here along with reps from other brands also. This is the the place to exchange information about the helicopters we fly.

You know it was guys like you Gordie, David, Russ and all the other senior guys that made RR work for me.

It was pretty much the only way an intermediate pilot like myself could get info especially MA info.

Over the last few months I noticed I saw less and less activity in the MA section. I attributed much of it to the Fury becoming a mature product and also the fanfare of the PMax and Raptor 90 and X-Specs hitting the market after the Fury was introduced.

Wasn't til recently that I realized something more was afoot over there. It's become clear to me in the last week or two just how bad it had gotten.

I'm thankful for all your help, strong advise and insight in this compelling hobby. I'm also thankful to the staff manning this website as an alternative.

I wonder how the big online dealers like Ricks and Heliproz feel about how MA and it's crew and followers were treated. Both shops sell a huge amount of MA product, therefore technically there were/are advertising dollars for MA going into MR's ever deepening pockets. It was indirectly but the money is the same when you slice it a certain way.

It's really amusing in some aspects and very disturbing when you look at it again in a more sober manner.

I for one will be a supporter of this forum, and hopefully I can continue learning and talking about MA products without fear of retribution from de fruer.

Min Air and other fine product lines also bring viewers to a given sight which makes that sights advertising space attractive to potential advertisers. So even thous lines that don't advertise on his sight still contribute to increasing the bottom line. I think Mark thinks only that if Min Air does not buy advertising then they are not supporting his sight so he wont support them, he could not be more wrong! Mark is using Min Airs name and product line to attract viewers to his sight. Cant that be enough? Well that is all I'm going to say about this, time to move on and talk helis!![/b]

I like to keep abreast of the current events, what is hot, what is not, and to be made aware of any problems the MA flyers are having. I learn a lot from reading what the guys have to say about the MA line and listening to responses to any problems that arise. Many times, it isn't a problem I have ever run into so I feel like I become more informed and can do a better job when helping others. I will probably continue my support in other places also but would really like to not have to be quite as careful how I say something here as on other sites. We shall see.

I have only been on this site for a short time and after reading just the MA section of posts do you see how dead the RR site is for information on MA.
I have no beef with whats happening at RR but this site does feel more friendly.
