Ty, Cliff, Your efforts to unite all in this hobby are very
admirable!
If you dont mind Ty I would like to add this. If we look at
proffesional Football, all teams play by the same rules, just
that all teams use different coaching tactics, and yes different
color jerseys LOL!

LOL Raul, you must have missed some of the fly rules that I
opposed Cliff on. James Turner and Cliff Ball are my mentors in
this sport but I'll disagree with either one of them in a heart
beat if I think they are wrong ;D

on here from a beginners point of view. I am a young flyer,
(not 20 years of age yet) and I strive to get to the level of
the old-timers in the hobby one day, but its a struggle with all
of nay-sayers in the sport. I don't fly competitively, mainly
because there is no club or organiztion near where I live, and I
am also far from getting my birds to the level that I want them.
Am I seeing progress? Yes. I have come a long way since when I
first started, but I have a lifetime to go.

Joe A,
I am just like you, one of the monkeys. If you want to talk
placement, let's use the Master Flyer points.

Well said Whitewing. The important thing is that you enjoy your
birds and the friends you meet in the hobby. Pushing your birds
forward is always good. Flying in competition is one way to
measure if you are making any progress in that endeavor but not
the only way. Keep your attitude and you will most likely be
successful. Good luck!
Keep em spinning

Thanks Joe. I look up to a few of you guys on here as my
mentors because I have only been in the hobby for a few years,
and also because there are no serious local flyers nearby that I
can share ideas with. Sites like Tony's here is a great tool to
use when no one else around speaks your lingo, as in my case.
