assistant: I have some R/C Aircraft stuff that I would like to sell. I haven't
flown in some time and it looks like I won't any time soon, so hence the
sale. All of this stuff is in excellent condition.
   Airtronics 6 channel FM Transmitter w/battery pack and charger.
   Includes trainer cord. Converted to single stick control by the best
   in my area. This radio has about 25 hours use on it.
   Airtronics receiver for above.  Includes battery pack and switch.
   Airtronics Servos for above (4) and one Tower Hobbies equivilent.
   One of the Airtronics is stripped.  I will include a rebuild kit
   for it.
   Flight Box. This box is cutom built - one of a kind. Very fuctional.
   Includes fuel jug, electric fuel pump. All you supply is the 12 volt
   battery. Includes power panel.
   Flight Line Equipment. NiCad glow starter w/charger, Sullivan High
   Torque starter, an assortment of props, and tools.
   OS .40 FP engine
   K&B Sportster .65 / Low hours-very powerful.
   An assortment of building equipment-too much to mention and bolt on
   goodies for airplanes.
I would prefer to sell this stuff as a package as it would be perfect
for someone entering the hobby. I paid about $450 for all this stuff
when I got started so it could save someone new a bunch of money.

Fido allows it, but your Sysop probably doesn't because s/he doesn't want to
pay the phone bill to do the necessary crashmail. I suppose it's possible to
also route an attach, but I've never tried it.
You can ask your Sysop to place them as a FREQable file, then have your
friend (or his Sysop) do a file request.
Just a helpful hint from a 10 year Sysop... :)

    This is a remark I have never heard before.  As a former R/C dealer,
  I sold tons of Power Master fuel and never had any complaints, only
  praises for the stuff.  I myself used about 400 gallons of it a year
  in my personal engines and never had engines disappear before my eyes.
  What type of engines have you seen eaten or what exactly are you

  Don't just write a one liner, give some hard facts as this was never

  Hiya Derik,
    This was the response from all of my customers as well.  I am
  anxiously awaiting Mark's reply to my message to see what he was
  trying to say.  I had a lot of problems with most every other fuel I
  tried as well unless I went to the trouble of adding castrol oil to
  their mix.  I am a firm believer in Power Master fuels and it would
  take a lot to convince me of anything but good would come to an engine
  running PM!

user: You are replying to All about "Insurance".

Write your reply.

assistant: I've seen some adds and BBS coments about AMA insurance versus
SFA.  Now as I understand it SFA insurance has a $250.00 deductable
which the individual is responsible for and the rest is covered by the
insurance company SFA works through.
       AMA on the other hand also has a $250.00 deductable the
individual is responsible for but, AMA itself then covers the cost up
to $250,000.00  This is sort of like a 1/4 million deductable with the
AMA covering most of it right?
       My question is, what is the individuals guarantee that the AMA
will pay this roughly 1/4 million and not leave the individual out in
the cold for some reason?
       What if the claim is more than 1/4 mill and the AMA won't pay
their part, does the insurance carrier still cover the amount above 1/4
million then?
       I am curious since I can see where every modeler is staking
their homes and family wellfare on the concept that the AMA will pay.
I know they always have to this point but then, the Titanic was
unsinkable before it hit the ice.  What's the scoop?  In english

assistant: Hello Kevin!
On 14 Apr 95, Kevin Kline hammered on the keyboard to All:
Both AMA and SFA are secondary insurers.  Your Homeowner's coverage or
other general liability is primary.  AMA and SFA only step up to pay
when all other insurance has been exhausted.  If you have no other
insurance, then AMA/SFA will pay first.  I haven't heard anything about
deductibles except for replacement on stolen aircraft.
Haven't heard of this either.  The AMA's aggregate coverage is 3 million...
that's 3 million divided by all members.
What if my auto insurance company doesn't pay... what if my health
insurance company doesn't pay... etc...?  The world is full of "what
if's".  All we can do when we put our trust in any company is to look
at their past record, and rely on government regulations to punish them
if they DO screw us over.
