qwerty2008 - As it is now, posts to this forum are becoming few and far between. A lot of the original energy has been sapped off by the Yahoo Footy group. My opinion of the Yahoo Footy group is that it represents a bad trend of Footy guys turning inward and dicking around amongst themselves. Truth be told the Yahoo group hasn’t got a whole lot of posts either and has just functioned to divide the herd. Why does the Footy class need another such insular group on rcsailing?

This Footy forum, the one you’re reading now, has served us well as a vehicle to spread the word about these great little boats. New converts that have been browsing among the other boat classes on rcsailing come across Footies here and find the enthusiasm we have for these boats contagious. The important issues concerning the evolution and direction of the class that we’ve faced and resolved happened here. It is here, in the trove of post history that one can find info and discussions of design concepts and building techniques, the hands on help that many new builders need to get started or to get over an impasse in their build. Here we learn how to think and make, on Yahoo it seems that most of the discussion is about where to buy. And that is the crucial difference between our open forum and a “fan club” group!

you have a great point i am no longer going to creat this group
