I think he explained it as succinctly as possible.

All good things must come to an end.

Looks to me like he needs some support now. Sorry to see this end.

"Inheriting" is troubling.

E820, Raptor G4N, X50F/E, E620, Forza 450, and some planks.

I was afraid of this. Thank you, Mark for all that you have done. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on here. Best of luck!

July 1st not June 1st.

THANK YOU MARK!

+10 years of great info and some entertainment. Surely will miss logging on daily.

May you have a peaceful retirement and enjoy flying stress free.

I have saved all my links and a few worthwhile pages.

~~Enjoying the hobby one flight at a time~~

This forum has been a great help over the years. Thanks to everyone and thanks to you Mark. Sad to see it go..

Its all earth!

This has been a terrific site. Many thanks Mark. Sending prayers and good vibes that you land on your feet.

Thank you mark for all the great yrs, prayers yes to you and your family, Is there anything we the members can do to help you or the site continueing on?

Awwww man

I have been on this site every day for the last 6 years, Have learned a lot from the people that Mark has attracted to this site. It will surly be sad to see it end.
Best of luck to you Mark and thank you for the years that you committed to this site.

I am guessing Mark is leaving the RR site to his ex-wife since it is a business and income (advertising) and she got it in the divorce settlement. Like another great helicopter business that went down hill and finally closed because the ex-wife didn't understand or care about the business.
If I am off base please correct me.
Mark and his great RR site will be greatly missed.

I think about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something, then wonder what I'm here after ?

Just seen this on break at work...heart sank about 6 inches!!

Coming up on 10yrs being on this site, very few days that I have NOT
at least peeked in to see the latest. One of the best places to visit/be a part of!

Mark very sad to see this and THANK YOU for all you put into this and
hope retirement or whatever you have planned next goes great!!!!

Very sad to hear that. Mark has done an amazing contribution to the hobby. Best wishes and good luck for the future !

Been there, lived through it. Mark, you will come out of this stronger.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my membership here, and offer my most sincere thank you to Mark and all the members that so readily shared their knowledge and skills.

We still have two months. Let's all go out with a heck of a bang!

You have been a daily staple for 12 years for me.

Thank you so much.

downer for the heli community

Real sorry to hear about this..I'm not on facebook or any social media sites but I have spent many enjoyable hrs. over the yrs. exchanging ideas and learning from others on this site plus a lot of laughs at times..Mark put an amazing amout of effort into creating a great place for us heli guy's (and some girls)to hang out with in between flying sessions! I sincerely hope he can get through the tough times and focus on a new goal!

I do a great decending funnel!

Mark, thanks for all you have done for the hobby!
