"Seems someone pulled some strings and got the thread removed by the moderators"
Nobody 'pulled strings' to get the thread removed.
I removed it because it descended into childish name-calling.
Nobody pulls strings in this forum.
(BTW, your suggestion that Ned_Air2Air is in any position to pull strings couldn't be more wrong. I won't go over old ground, but people who've been around Rotorheads for a few years will know why.
