Designations are irrelevant. What does "Chevy Silverado" mean? If you
had nothing else to go on but the name, and did not have the benefit
of a nationwide advertising campaign and John Cougar Mellencamp, would
you know if a Silverado was a compact car, a pickup truck, or a
motorcycle?

How would you find out what it was, and if it were suitable for your
purposes? You'd look up the specifications, kick the tires, ask
questions... Eventually you'd learn that Silverado meant pickup truck,
and that since you're looking for a midsize sedan, it's not what you
want.

Works the same for electric motors and glow engines too. Until you
learn to correlate marketing info with motor capabilities, it's a
learning curve that involves looking at the specifications.

Unless there's been some back-room dealings going on that I am not
aware of, Marc Vigod still owns Wattflyer.com.

I wonder what happened to Anne Marie Cross anyway. Haven't heard much
since she and her husband left Great Planes/Hobbico. She popped up on
RCGroups for a while. Last I knew she was running a race horse rescue
operation on grants and donations, but that info is a few years old.

What's the matter, constipated?

Since I'm wrong all the time, I'll leave trying to answer questions to you

from now on.
