Default Why are JR sponsored guys such dork's?

Why are JR Sponsored Pilots stiff and no fun? I mean I find myself at events hanging around Futaba guys. I fly a JR 9303 and have always flown JR. But I have to tell you that the Futaba guy’s are the bomb at events. While the JR guys are too reserved for that fun stuff. I mean who gave my son his first hat, a Futaba Team Pilot, who told him to tell his dad that JR stands for Junk Radio… A Futaba Team pilot. I mean would you ever see a JR guy doing this NOOOooooo. At events who has always opened up there canopies to let my plane hide from the sun. Futaba Team pilots. At 2009 Joe Nall who passed the pen around to all their team pilots first before any of the lowly people could get signed up… JR guys. Don’t say you didn’t I was there and saw it. Who did I have to get to get me a JR hat a fu**’n Futaba guy. Go freak’n figure, they would not give me a hat, but my Futaba Team buddy got me one. Maybe at the next event you could, oh I don’t know loosen UP!

I think it may be that JR has a stiffer sponsorship program than Futaba? I'll admit, I know some futaba guys and they are a lot more chilled out then the JR guys. Futaba guys like to have fun but get to business when it comes to flying. JR is business all the time. If only it we're cheap for me to swap over to Futaba, I would

I guess it's because the vast majority of us have a good grasp on grammar and spelling. Dork.

And just what are you saying about house cats heads ? I just may have to feed ya to Sebastion. But thats because I feel for ya. If not I would feed ya to Penelope. SHE is a real killer in the true sense of the word. Scathing ball of fur covered razor blades that girl is ! IF she don't hanker to ya.

Something trespasses in our yard she kills it.
