Well, if you Rocket people are going to be like Glasair and Lancair people and not use Experimental call sign, then please enunciate well.
Snip
"You Rocket people"? Really? Would you care to rephrase that?
By saying type, you now can understand the performance of the ship in the pattern with you; "experimental" doesn't provide you with any useful parameters. Example: thinking you heard Aeronca, you looked for a slow and low as opposed to a fast-climbing ship. That fact that you heard it wrong gives you no basis for you to bash the guy. Heck, if you heard him wrong, maybe he DID say "Experimental Rocket" so you would know what sort of plane was in the pattern with you. Much safer that way, don't ya think?
Last I understood, radio calls at uncontrolled airports were not 'required' in any case. I can fly my Aeronca there as much as I want, but I have to be aware that most others will expect a radio call, but that won't ever happen with that particular ship: no electrics!
In the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis!"
Carry on!
