Thanks for the clarification Judge! Us poor Futaba guys need to stick together with our substandard equipment...

I was speaking toward the U.S stage regarding the top flyers, but I would say that Andrew, Jason and Brett are considered 3 of the top FAI flyers in the world as well as the U.S. I forgot the mental capacity some of these individuals have on here.

Personally I simply have ZB on my ignore list. His constant intrusions grew wearisome. If it were not for his constant trolls in other threads I likely would not give it much thought at all.

So why are you and all these other non-jeti folks dumping all over this thread? I don’t get it. Yeah, Zb is a pain, as has been pointed out there’s no fixing that if reporting his posts doesn’t work, the only viable option is to ignore him. Which you say you have done. Yet here you are?
Don’t get me wrong I respect you and have learned stuff from your posts on other threads in other forums. Ditto for some of the other folks here who are quite frankly behaving like 5 year olds on this thread trying to give Zb a taste of his own medicine - I’ve learned stuff from their posts elsewhere. I don’t get why they lower themselves to this level in a misguided attempt to “get back” at Zb (who doesn’t care), when all they’re really doing is annoying other fellow FG members who happen to actually be interested in Jeti stuff.

one thing is sure he will never get a permanent ban or lose site sponsor privileges although he actually get infractions just as any other member.

Well, I have made exactly 6 (7 counting this one) posts in this thread of 300 posts.

#256 answered how many pilots are paid to fly Futaba and did not mention Jeti

#278 clarified that remark as pertaining to Futaba pilots in the US only and did not mention Jeti

#290 corrected grammar in a hopefully amusing manner and did not mention Jeti

#294 clarified what I think another person was talking about relative to Futaba and did not mention Jeti

#297 did point out that ZB is a well known troll and did not mention Jeti

#299 simply stated an empirical fact that Jeti is not a major player in the US market.

Not a single one of those posts can in any way be construed as "dumping" on Jeti. So I guess I do not understand your accusation.

Perhaps I used the wrong word. By dumping on this thread, I meant filling it with posts that have nothing to do with jeti. And yes, your post count this thread is tiny compared to one or two others. Your post just specifically mentioned that you had ignored Zb, which is why I chose to reply to it rather than one of the other folks.

is CHIP the 'review man' of youtube hobbico channel ?
I don't think Horizon will keep promoting Futaba there so the question is:
will there be a new YT channel managed by Futaba USA ?

I don't really see the morality police trolls adding much by lowering themselves to his level or probably far beneath it from what I have read so far. If Jeti wants rid of him they will get rid of him. If nobody buys the product it will soon be gone and I will own another nice obsolete radio like I do from other brands. Not much changes in this world... New today, old tomorrow.

We aren't upset, we're having fun. Payback is a mofo.

I thought you guys were too smart not to know you are worthless trolls.
You guys really had me going.
And you gettin all uppity and reporting me to the mods and all.
Shucks
Jokes on me.

I've seen nothing to report from you, just good banter and different opinions. Sorry to hear that.

Aeroken,
It’s more about how many times over the years ZB has blasted all of the other manufactures threads dropping turds on their equipment.

OK, I get it. You guys are determined to take the moral low ground and act like 5 year olds. I expected more, but perhaps I shouldn’t have. My mistake.

Again, we're having fun.

My bad.
I thought that since you quoted and posted "thanks" to the mods for making me edit a post that perhaps it was you who had been so terribly offended.

I don't find it funny. I feel sorry for esprit model employees if they ever get dissmissed due to low pizza boxes sales

No sir, did not report anybody. Have never done that, ever.
