It's already a cage match, with FG being the cage. Nobody gets out alive.

Nothing wrong with Flying Giants, they just provide a platform for us all to voice our opinion.
I don't know who is fighting in the cage match? I know it is not Valley View RC.
If I started this thread I would close it as all that needs to be said has been.
Thank you
Tom

Are you allowed to sell stuff on this site if you own a business or website? I could have sworn a guy got kicked off the site for doing just that

Why would there be a rule like that? Seems that one of the purposes of this site is to buy and sell items.


Here are the guidelines for selling on this site. I don't see anything that would prohibit a business from selling an item. FG even has paid advertising on here too so not sure what your point is.

Yes I understand that anyone can buy and sell on the site... the point I’m making is if you own a business like Tower Hobbies for example, or Extreme Flight, or Chief Aircraft.. would they be allowed to post in the Classifieds?

I picked the OP of this thread, ibcinyourc, and looked up his earliest post on FG and it was a for sale ad from August 2016 with many newer ones over the years. If this was against the rules, then you would expect to see ibcinyourc suspended from the site a long time ago. So based upon that example one can conclude that selling by business owners is allowed.

If there is some other rule prohibiting this, then the site owners need to either strike the rule or enforce it across the board.

I agree 100%... my point is... to me it seems that Ibcinyourc has just been flying under the radar posting in the classifieds even tho he owns his own site! I’m 99% sure a guy who was trying to do the same thing less then a year ago got the boot and his ads were all deleted by the moderator. I understand ads are posted on the site but think about it.. they never post in the classifieds.. if I had a business like EF or Pilot I would post every time I had a chance knowing how many people visit the site. Wouldn’t you?

What about a business posting a classified add for an item that is on sale or closeout or even a open box return. I think that would be a good idea for a ll the vendors

Gi e me a few gallons, and I will post RPM figures. See how it compares to the DA 120. My original RCGF 120 turns props within 150 RPM of the DA.

Where is Bull Engines now? Where you ask? I can tell you. The same place all the JC engines are. FrankenKevin is using the parts to upstart another Chinese branded engine. Purely speculation, but would not surprise me if it proved to be legitimate.
