With respect, I struggle to see how you can afford to make replica warbird models, but dont have enough money to pay anyone to help.Already started to build a Jurca Mustang Replica. Looking for a volunteer who can draw for free for me parts from PDF files in DWG/DXF in order to continue to cut them on the CNC and assemble them. Many thanks. I had many sponsors who helped for free during this project. If you wish to join, let me know.View attachment 680980

Many already helped for free, as you can see. If you don't cross the "money" blockade in your head, you will do nothing in life.With respect, I struggle to see how you can afford to make replica warbird models, but dont have enough money to pay anyone to help.
On what possible basis would anyone sponsor this ?
Thats your offical sponsorship brochure text is it ?Many already helped for free, as you can see. If you don't cross the "money" blockade in your head, you will do nothing in life.
No. It is not. Quiet yourself and don't throw stones in people you don't know directly, out of envy, because one day you will be hit back with one of these same stones. You don't know me. And judging by your attitude, you didn't do anything for free for anyone.Thats your offical sponsorship brochure text is it ?
This isnt sponsorship of some worthy cause, its just expecting other people to fund your hobbies.
You're not among those "people". You have nothing to help with. And even if you did, you wouldn't do it anyway. You're just a nobody!Now thats an attitude that surely will make people stand in line to help.
I dont know you or you project. Think i will keep it that way.

Someone can not fix his mistakes if the mistakes are not pointed out to him. I want to give him ( her?) a clean sheet to start over again and really try, regardless what he/she does on other boards.FYI: His help requests are out on various other boards, along with similar attitudes.
Yes admin, I perfectly agree with that! But check the activity log on this thread and see who started this. Not me, they just simply started to attack me, because they don't want to accept the word "free" , for them this word simply does not exist. Hell, even people from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus cut parts from plywood for free for me without even seeing my face and without asking question (and this guys don't do free things for anyone!) Is this an interogatory room or a community with people that help each other without asking anything in exchange??? Just asking. I don't mean to upset someone.marianmadalin32 , I think it's reasonable to provide people with more info about your plans in order to convince them to help you. Remember, nobody here has a personal bond with you, so personal favours are not easily given. For example if you are doing this for a museum or some kind, people are more inclined to help as they see the cause. And I can think of many causes that will make people willing to give you their valuable time. ( maybe you're going to hit the airshow circuit? )
But since you didn't give any background, I don't think the reactions were unreasonable and certainly don't deserve the backslash you thought you needed to give them.
So please start over, tell us more about the background of your project. Most people here love to spread the knowledge of history and technique, so if your project has anything remotely to do with that, I think chances are higher that there will be members willing to contribute.
To the other members, please refrain from further more escalation. I can see this going down the drain really quickly otherwise.
No, they react on "free" because everybody seem to think the world is free. Money they give to you can not be spent to give hungry people food for instance. So giving free for no reason is not on. A nice story with a bit of background just helps your cause much better. Now people don't have anything on which too make a the decision to send their money on. And there has been a lot of supporting for free on this forum if you care to look for it, but usually members then know what they get involved in.Yes admin, I perfectly agree with that!

Yes and thank you for that. I am building it for various reasons: for educational display, free flights to children, students and people passionate about aviation, for historical purposes, for post-mortem honorary purposes, to honour the passing of mr. Marcel Jurca, a romanian like me, a great guy (it's been 21 years since his death). I don't want to explain myself and people not to involve directly. It's like telling my plans to people who'll use them against me later in time. I don't feel comfortable with that. Nowadays, honesty and discovery of your plans to others is a very, very bad idea because people, as you can see, are very mean (this thread is an actual proof!).And remember nothing is free in this world. Even time is not free. If I were to donate my time to help you with this (which I cannot because I don't know how) I would no longer have time to devote to something else such as spending time with my children. It's something similar to opportunity cost. Everything costs something, whether it be time or money. The time spent on one opportunity takes away from another.
This is why people question what they are donating their time to. They want to know if it is something they feel they can support, and give up the time they could be doing something else with.
Maybe now you can understand why people questioned you. Based on your initial responses here, I would not want to help either. Time spent with my children and family is time better spent. You, however, can change that. It's up to you.
