Where is the Crossflow thread?

[gbrasch]

Doug, I also agree in most cases that a person can get sued for just about anything, however after working in the justice system for over 25 years, I don't think you have to worry about Crossflow suing you. Think about it, they going to sue you for bad comments about their company that are true??? If there is one thing I appreciate about the flying community and specifically the RV group, is that few if any of the folks I have met are liars, or make stories like these up. Just my .02

I agree with most of the previous posters that the likelyhood of Crossflow suing Doug is close to zero. However, I'm sure that being on the receiving end of any idiotic lawsuits would still be an annoying hassle. Most people just don't want to waste their time fighting with knuckleheads. A few have the time and resources to do this, and we're all better off for it, but it's not for everyone.

Hi George...

The thread that was deleted included posts by at least one (I believe more than one) RV-builder who had sent money to Crossflow for an engine for an RV. This (these?) builder(s) was(were) very disappointed by their experience and had detailed the reasons for the disappointment in the thread.

In other words, the threads did not contain heresay. This was not rumor. This was substantial and credible information about this(these) builder's experience with Crossflow. I imagine this is why Crossflow felt threatened by the thread. It contained credible information that was not flattering to them.

I too am disappointed that Doug chose to remove the thread, although I understand his reasoning. As I had followed the thread, I did not believe anything there would have exposed Doug to legal liability. I believe Crossflow's apparently intimidating communication with Doug speaks volumes. Here you have one of the principal ambassadors for the RV comminity, Doug Reeves, receiving veiled threats from a company trying to sell engines to the RV Community. I guess we can all draw our own conclusions.

This is the main disadvantage of a forum. It persists. If you want some opinions that cannot be censored by legal threats, try asking on an email forum. Or try searching here:

Or here:

There were several posts from current Crossflow customers that were factual, but they were pulled. That is not a good endorsement of their product. Bottom line, not many of Crossflow's products are flying in anything. My advice (I hope advice is acceptable) is to wait until they have several hundred flying, just like the RVs. A good strong track record is the best recommendation anyone can have. Anything else is still in the development stage and not ready for prime time. That is just my opinion. It is up to you if you want to take the risk.
