What is most exciting about this sport and the web, is the ability to interact with other modelers. I find great message boards for all SIGS like RCCA, IMAC and NMPRA....and even SPADS...lol...you know, the cheap coroplast and pvc gutterpipe wonders? I was surprised, after my recent membership renewal, that NSRCA had no such message board, only an old fashioned 'mail forwarding' function.....BLAH.<BR>

Tony, if you are President (you get my vote) i'd explore hooking up with RC Universe for all messages about pattern and NSRCA. Also, IMAC and RCCA now have an agreement with RC Excellence magazine to publish their newsletter within its bimonthly publication.<BR>
<BR>
The web can pump a tremendous amount of adrenaline back into the sport of pattern flying, lets utilize it to its fullest. If there are guys whom still resist buying a computer and going online (kinda like the old vinyl record album vs. compact disk days....lol) then they will be left to bear the cost of paper newsletters, not the rest of us with our 'wizbang dell whatevers'.<BR>
