I too would have liked to have seen it in R&N or private flying and spoke to a mod about it twice but to be fair, the thread started here so they merged them here. I understand there was quite a bit of discussion between the mods but the relegationists won i guess...
I also noticed irritation with the mods as to comments it could better be moved to Private Flying, so i think there is little point in pushing the issue.
Perhaps once he s landed it will be possible to get a news thread with good pics in R&N or private flying. The AVCOM forum thread now is well above 40 pages and makes good reading.
