  Club Suggestions to Benefit Everyone


I hope all of you newly elected club presidents are getting settled in 
to your first terms. For those of you starting another year as a club 
leader, I hope things are going well for you also.

I had an interesting E-mail exchange recently with a relatively new 
member who was just getting involved in model aviation. This was an 
older gentleman who, throughout his life, had been involved in several 
different associations as well as belonging to a number of different 
clubs. Almost all of these groups were outside of the aeromodeling 
discipline.

  Searching Scale on the Internet


      from "Bill's Corner"

      You want some documentation for a Scale model? In the past, that
      meant digging into your collection of pictures and drawings from
      magazines. If that didn't provide you with enough information,

      could find one in print and for a reasonable cost.

  Has This Ever Happened to You?


      by Bob Kugler

      You're flying your favorite airplane. You're doing the maneuvers
      that you've done a hundred times before. The weather is perfect.

      You are having a great time. You couldn't feel more comfortable.
