Requests for member input

Request for Flight Simulator Reviews

We would like to collect members' reviews of the commonly-available flight simulators available for the PC (including the Tower Hobbies, CSM, Dave Brown and Ambrosia simulators). If you would like to send me comments about any of these simulators you have tried, I will put them all together and make a summary page to help other members planning to buy one of them.

Request for kit reviews.

If you have recently built a plane, from a trainer (especially a trainer!) to a jet, let others know what you thought of the kit. Click here to view the submission form. Either print the form a give it to a board member, or paste it into an e-mail and send it to one of the addresses at the bottom of this page. We will develop a listing of different airplane reviews. (Thanks to Bart for the form and the idea).

We want to make contact information available for club members, together with the radio channels that they currently use. This will help you to find an "under-used" channel when buying a new radio To be added to this list, simply send me an e-mail or call me with the appropriate information.
