Thats a great Effort Vivek Bhaiya...

count me in

Anwar Bhai,

this was brought up earlier also, no offense meant to any of the guys Bilal, Teja Etc, Etc Extra, all these names we hear only during sweepstakes, thereafter they are Gone With The Wind. Can number of posts be given some kinda weightage

PS
Gandhar please delete it if you find it too personal

While I see your point, we shall remain free on this one too.  I know people who have visit the forum as guests for months before they registered.  There are others who registered and do login daily, but did not make a single post for many months.

We wil leave it to the people to decide when they want to participate (or not)   Especially beginners who are just learning by observing.  We would rather see beginners reading and gaining knowledge, than asking questions which have already been asked many number of times !

We used to be post hungry where we wanted higher Google rankings, but that goal is pretty much achieved, and we have become the biggest RC forum in India (thanks to all of the people here).

Augustine sir:I don't think your post was too personal and I am with you on this.

BTW,I didn't see an option where I could delete posts.I don't think I'm given that option yet.(actually its good that I don't have it )

Haha Gandhar getting spoilt with power

yup.Feeling it corrupt me.

I am with Augustin Sir, though not against anyone, but yes, a lot of people just  post to win, bu never to help

there is nothing better than a free gift,? just a question , how is the winner selected?/

yes sir has a point , there should also be a criteria like what a person will do with this tx if he already got many

Hey Vineet,I don't see any accusations being made.I would suggest you modify your post accordingly and you don't need to defend yourself.Also,post count doesn't mean anything.

Augustine sir has a valid point.He has made it clear that he is not accusing anyone of anything.

I don't think we should go to that extent.We just don't want members coming here for the sweepstakes and leaving afterwards.

My earlier post was in general  and It will be helpful for future sweepstakes. Each time there is a sweepstake I could see this problem. Atleast in that case there would be statistics collected from several moths.

I guess everyone is conveniently forgetting/missing the fact that for a beginner, the best HELP is to just read the information here to learn about new things, and NOT ask questions about things already discussed (unless there is something new about the question itself).

No disrespect, but I would like to highlight the fact again that we have no coercion. People can post when they choose, and only if they want.  This is the reason why we kept the number of posts required to participate in the sweepstakes as 2, not 20.  I believe it makes people comfortable about this forum long term.

 
I know some members who don't work on computers for their day jobs and would rather be on the flying field in their free time but still manage to login to keep in touch with the latest happenings. When it comes to presents and gifts, ratings and rankings should be kept aside and rankings based on number of posts or logged in time is pointless

A very valid POV, instead of mindless/repetitive posts it is better to watch and learn, watch and learners too should have a chance.

RC India celebrated two years last month, and we have passed 3K members too. 

Congratulations..... RC India.

If I get the computerised radio, at least mixing and control would be better at field and then v-tail mixing, Elevon mixing would require no mechanical way for me like below. Moreover, I can offer for demonstration & Use my radios to new members of our newly instructed BE&SU Aero-modeling  club as it is just a baby and no one of us have computerised radio for demonstration and hands on flying adjustment for those mixing.

Therefore the UTILIZATION of the sweeptakes be maximum I think and of course, I will be very happy to win and owning this after standing on own leg of our club (after 50 members ? or wining any prize from compitition). However, Winner is winner and no matter who win, just request to give him so that he cannot use it for business (for purchasing of another, sells it).

Rohit Gupta also doing his best. He kept his cessna RTF at our club for demonstration.

Anything missing that needs (Bulsa? I hate bulsa as costly as well as imported, rather in favor of VC to use local light wood or make SPAD or buy complete kit.)

However, i don't prefer canvassing but doing here for kind consideration and grater application & Utilisation of the sweeptakes and favouring if available). Will post further after the exam of the members.

Now sharing with you another grate sweeptake as under. Link hidden for 1egality as  dont want to litter.

Thanks

I don't get the point of this post being here.No offence meant.

Just to consider me as a applicant.

English is a funny language...  a lot seems to get lost in translation

Again... no need to opt in, and no need to state YOUR need for the item.  If you win in, you win it ! And you are welcome to do anything with it, including refusing it if you truly don't have any use for it... or pass it on to someone needy that you know.

It is just good human nature to realize that there are many who would really benefit from it.
