| Here we go,,,,,,Remember when they teach you how to be a good multiple choice test taker and read clue words,,,,,,,I said usually, not always concerning the teaching aspect....In addition I tried to make it clear that I was not making any derogatory comments toward the teen team and their skills.
I tried to specify in the original post that I was not challenging their talent, just posing the question as to why Ace is going with this bling bling thing,,,,and not looking for their long term supporters. In response to your mentioning Szabos going to Taiwan,,,,,think about that from the marketing aspect of things,,,,you have two talented American teens flying the helis and you need to take someone to a place where the helis are quite popular.....It was the bling bling thing,,,,,Nothing wrong with it, smart aspect of marketing.
On the comment concerning it becoming too easy to become field reps,,,,,,if they have "any" I have not seen a single one at all of the FF's I attended in the South this summer. Ok,,you have me on reps at IRCHA,,,they did have them there. I just think that Ace should look more at the aspect of product loyalty in which they have a few people in different parts of the country who enjoy the raptors and attend events in support of the product.
Jeff Green has done an amazing job creating product loyalty in the correct manner,,you will rarely if ever hear of anyone saying anything bad about Hirobo products,,,but you do see guys talking bad about MinAir, Century, Ace,,,,,and Jeff Green will be the first to admit he doesn't really have top name pilots flying his stuff,,,
This is just a discussion provoking post,,,,,not ragging on anyone's ability.
Thanks
