Poll Results Feedback, Comments, Questions

[@dmrcflyr2]

All, one thing I neglected to mention in text on video is that all of my responses here are sarcastic and joking. If you don’t know by now that I have a rather dry sense of humor, I apologize. Just know that no silly poll is going to dissuade me from posting the content that I find interesting, informative, and enjoyable.

[@whoisjohngalt5258]

David . . . I think the Building and Covering segment is a very real need in the community. Old School Master Builder/Designers like me are a dying breed. Most interested in the hobby today are younger folks who simply do not have the skill set . . that said there are youtube channels out there that cover this subject very well. No need for you to go down that particular rabbit hole ;) Keep doing what you are doing.

[@dansgarage5121]

David, do what you love or really want to do. We either watch or not. I didn't react to the poll simply because I had to make a choice. Have enjoyed most of your content. Edit the run videos and show the highlights. The nueonces are lost on video anyway. Most people don't hear the changes you make and are recording. Maybe why the run videos are not fully watched. Do what you love to do. That's what people want to see.

[@roki5941]

Dear David, when I returned to the hobby some 8 years ago I had to catch up with all the "new". Your channel gave me a good start in "how to" with the used engines I bought.. THANK YOU for that !! If you are interested. Reviewing various engine modifications like how the Saito R3 manifolds are done and how to convert in order to have the engines run better. In short.. MODIFICATIONS.

[@kloeppky6613]

I have watched most of your videos end to end since I found your channel. In particular I have watched a lot of glow engine runs, tear downs and repairs. They have been really helpful to me. I like videos under 30 minutes but if well done watch longer ones too. Keep doing whatever you enjoy and you will find an audience. A little diversity in content is great. Thanks for all your hard work putting these together for us.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

[@joejackjones1]

Dave, I believe I selected the building and covering but I really wanted to select all. I've really enjoyed all the newer "old school" videos, both plane and magazines. Please just have fun. Mostly I've enjoyed you renewed excitement in the building and the planes in these newer videos.

[@rocker-6946]

Hello David. I like your channel. It’s like an encyclopedia. I haven’t seen another channel like yours. I have learned so many things (mostly for 4 stroke engines) and I enjoyed it a lot. And I have repaired my O.S. FS 52 Surpass with a bigger ring but to fit it I’ve filed it and it’s perfect. I’m happy now.

[@marcmears3398]

David, your videos remind me of my childhood. Watching your videos brings back fond memories. I, like you have a love for glow engines. When I was a kid I read every thing I could find on the subject and my father who was an aircraft mechanic during WW2 also taught me an awful lot about how these amazing little power plants work. It's nice to have someone with knowledge and experience with model glow engines on KZbin. I love your videos! Keep it up!! P.S I'm also a cat lover.

[@marcmears3398]

My cat is also white with a little bit of grey on his head. Can't wait to see what you are going to come with next!

[@billjones3071]

I really love the old catalogs! Also all the other stuff, really doesn’t matter as long as we are all having fun , it’s not serious stuff it just removes us from stressful life for a little while

[@ahmedjazzar8499]

Sorry I missed the poll, David. For me, the engine videos are priceless. Some of the engine videos I must've watched multiple times to learn how you did certain things. For example the videos on the Enya 46 4s were Extremely useful to me and helped me overhaul and tune 2 engines. I honestly love all your videos and i watch them all. Thank you

[@dmrcflyr2]

The poll never closes, go ahead and vote.

[@michaelcasella4774]

Ah bummer I missed the pole! I love the magazines and catalogs AND THE ENGINES! I will build and fly glow until I leave this earth!

[@dmrcflyr2]

No, the poll is still open. They never close. VOTE!

[@DarrellBurr]

Hi from Australia. I watch ALL your videos from start to finish, often several times. I am 80 years old, so can relate to the older engines and magazines. Keep it up. Cheers Darrell Burr

[@dmrcflyr2]

Thank you Darrell! I am glad to hear that you watch the entirity of my videos! Heck I don’t even do that.

[@SandyPerdue-kb1hv]

I personally love the engine videos as they have helped me with assembly and disassembly of engines I own.I was enjoying the magazines and catalogs .i think you and I have same interests.Keep ‘em coming.Thanks

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Dave,, I'm surprised by the analytic that the viewer only watches for 3:31. I watch all you videos to the end. I have enjoyed the magazine and catalog videos. I say keep them coming.

[@chuckmcdonald4795]

Like I said in the poll comments. I like it all so you do you. I look forward to seeing what you got going on. I also like to reminisce.

[@Extra300goldberg]

I think most of us are excited when you post anything RC glow related. I personally enjoyed the diversity of content of recent. And even if your RC magazine videos ranked lowest in your poll, the comments have been really positive! I certainly have enjoyed them.

[@andrewpicard2476]

Dave, I voted but I like all the stuff and I would guess we all enjoy the mix of your content. I voted for building and covering however I enjoy the read thru catalogs and mags. Keep doing what you like to do! I watch it all

[@evr4921]

Please share those old magazines. They bring such joy. As far as building, I agree with you it’s a solo event that I am currently experiencing with a scratch build, don’t need to see it but I would watch and maybe learn something.

[@ronhiltz1637]

I am sorry I missed your community pole Dave, but I just like what you do with the engines and show how to do the servicing engines and the look in side of them.

[@jeremyburton9038]

Keep the catalogs going .

[@whoisjohngalt5258]

Don't Change a Thing David!! I really like direction you are going.

[@keriksen2749]

I enjoyed watching work on airplanes. It seemed like you were getting an enjoyment out of it and maybe returning to the hobby but you doing your engines is always what I find More interesting. As you have access to more engines than I do. It's neat to see which them run or what they're capable of doing. Also I did enjoy you going over the magazines and old ADS.But the pole only allowed you to pick one.

[@louisianaredneck7535]

You put a poll with opinions we we thought they were all an opinion. I like the engine videos but other than that the most interesting opinion to me was the building and covering. It is old school and most people do not do it anymore. Seeing people do it is something I like watching step by step. Most people only show the highlights and a person can not learn much from completed steps sitting on a table. They learn from watching someone do them. I am not trying to sound rude but I like watching people build and cover RC planes. Thanks for taking the time to show and explain the things you do on your channel.

[@bradleynorton1085]

i missed your poll but keep doing those engine vids coming there great for a learner like me

[@BonifiedWingnut]

You said it at the beginning we only could pick one choice. Its all good. I will be watching them as much as I can.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Yes, KZbin does not allow multiple selections in their polls.

[@NathanWaldock]

I said you are the glow doctor of the world Dave ,I just like to see ya build a 80,s model ,maybe 1 you had back in the day

[@chrisross7936]

I'm as shocked as you are right now David. Your database on glow engines is a main resource for me when I'm planning to buy , just bought or need to refurbish an engine I have. In fact your channel has invigorated my enthusiasm for glow engines and the need for them. I want to thank you for your efforts and success at bringing relevance to the engines that propelled the hobby into the 21st century. There is a reason gas/spark ignition engines yielded to glow engines in the past and I'd like to think there is still a future for glow yet to come. Even if it will be for nostalgia alcohol engines produce more power and who cares about fuel prices. Hobbies... all hobbies are expensive every person I know has one and so what if it costs $100 more a year for fuel , I have spent 10 times that in a day unrelated to propulsion in this hobby. Anyway.... keep doing what you do!! I personally like the magazine articles and especially engine videos. Sorry I missed the POLL.

[@btilentrails]

I watch all of your videos and have gone back into your old content and started watching some of your way back videos. Keep up the good work, and I never seen a chance to add my voice in the survey, had been able to vote, I would have marked that mag and catalogs.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Thank you. My old videos are painful to watch IMO.

[@mikeslayer5926]

wow I appologize as i never saw . noticed the quiz,...i liked the reads,,...I liked the engine mechanix,... i liked all youve done ,... let me know what/which tools your looking for,...i want what you want to do,...this is yer bliss ,...ROCK ON MAN ! again im sorry i missed this poll,... shall I go take the poll now, David? Mike

[@dmrcflyr2]

The poll never closes Mike. Thank you for your kind words!

[@mikeeiben3430]

I voted for building and covering for 2 reasons. It is an area of weakness for me in the hobby, and after seeing some of the color schemes in the Sig catalog, I wanted to be able to cover like that. By all means, take the path you see fit.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Well my covering schemes were always very simple. I never did anything elaborate. Never had the desire nor the patience to do that. By that point in the build I simply wanted to fly and be able to tell the difference from top and bottom.

[@jamesscheidler476]

Hey Dave, your response to the poll results indicate that the options you gave indicate that you had no intentions to do what you proposed and only wanted validation for the one option you truly wanted folks to support-- reading magazines on KZbin. I personally like your engine vids...which I voted for. I'm sorry you're upset that folks didn't want to go for what you wanted.

[@Felix-fy7ki]

I never saw any polls unfortunately. I'm using an old Lenovo M10 tablet computer which seems not to support this feature.

[@MrApache64AH]

David it was a shame i missed your poll, as i would have voted to continue with your engine videos. I would like you to go through engine stripping, cleaning, tuning, and fault finding.

[@dmrcflyr2]

You can still vote. The poll never closes.

[@NathanWaldock]

More engines Doctor Dave🤙🤙🤙

[@NathanWaldock]

Have been a fan for years mate ,all the best for Ireland 🤙🤙🤙

[@dmrcflyr2]

Thank you Nathan!

[@stevenboone9359]

Dave im old school so i love engines old magazines catalogs scratch building kit building so if there would been all above thats my vote.I think that what ever you feel up to for a video that's grat i will watch.Like i said in a comment before i hav been subscribed for years

[@dmrcflyr2]

Thank you Steven for you long term subscription to my channel!

[@perkyplanesrc9363]

Yeah as I found out (and same for you)... Polls suck on KZbin bc you can't do multiple selections. You probably know my thoughts... Just do what you want... Well you might wanna double check with Sasha too.

[@yanicks9040]

Oh I think I misunderstood the "building and covering" one, probably a language issue. I thought this meant the videos where you open engines or "rebuild" them, so opening them up, look inside, and so on.

[@dmrcflyr2]

How do you build and cover an engine? Obviously I have been showing the SIG Kadet wing where I was ‘building’ the final parts of the wing and then ‘covering’ it with monokote.

[@yanicks9040]

@ no idea I’m not part of the flyer hobby so I didn’t watch that video, I only care about the engines so I didn’t know those terms. I assumed the last option is purely running engines and the third one means the ones where you are working on engines.

[@luisgarza2036]

WOW 1971 catalog well, i thaught most people liked to see those older r/c magazines. 😢

[@dmrcflyr2]

Oh, I’ll be showing that and other magazines anyway. That SIG catalog had my jaw dropping to the table. The amount of things that SIG used to offer was simply amazing!

[@dcdurbin1]

I watch what you post. The catalogs and covering are not as interesting as watching you tear into an engine, but I'm going to check out your posts regardless.

[@Will-wk2ym]

Stick with engines!

[@johna.s.3847]

like it all!

[@andrewpicard2476]

Don't chase numbers, it's misleading to what brings viewers and subs. Keep up the great work. Read the magazines, the Engine Clinic read had me pick up MMO Air Tool oil that night at WallyWorld, lol.

[@dmrcflyr2]

I just picked a bottle up today also from Menards!

[@andrewpicard2476]

@dmrcflyr2 my father used to oil all of his machinist tools with it as well. Great Info, always appreciate your channel!

[@Laser100man]

Missed the poll, expressing my opinion now: just go back to running / explaining engines David. As you said that's what your channel is basically all about. Edit: voted. Regards Harry

[@barryhobbs8695]

I probably wouldn’t read too much into the results because people could only select one result. I don’t think it means only 4% would watch a video on rc magazines, it means only 4% would prefer that overall. Out of interest how do your recent views look like on the magazine videos?

[@dmrcflyr2]

Not bad really. Anywhere between 430-800 views depending on the length of time that have been released. That is why I was asking for those that voted in the poll to speak up if possible and explain.
