I have a rudimentary Contest Calendar started (again).  You can find it HERE or on the menu bar above.

A few things to note:

• this calendar – any calendar – is the most tedious aspect of the site.
• if you are a CD – send your announcement to ME via email (don’t make me dig for it, because I won’t).
• Rick Penzick and I are working on a new system for recording upcoming contests – and notifying local FACers.  More to follow.

The FAC’s own – Oliver Sand – has been awarded two scholarship awards by the Academy of Model Aeronautics!  Well done, Oliver – and best of luck at Brown!

Read Oliver’s release HERE

And about all of the winners HERE

Thanks to Stew Meyers, all* of the back issues are now downloadable.

* – Here’s the hitch:  the Council voted to have all newsletters – minus the most recent 5 years – available.  So what we have today is up to and including Sept/Oct 2013 (#273) online.

“Check them out” in the Library!  And there is no need to return them to the library once you check them out – HAWWWW!

A short 15-minute video on the history of Comet Model Airplane Company from 1929-1941 is NOW AVAILABLE online!

I have added a new link to the Comet Catalog Page.  (A little cross-contamination to my business history) – when I took over my business, I had a small supply of these DVDs and was able to sell them.  I was pleased to find this official copy of the DVD online the other day – it is free to watch for everyone.

HERE is the link, but you can always find it on the Comet Catalog Page in the Library.

Both lists updated as of 01 September.   The Kanone List includes the kanones awarded at the 2018 FAC Nats.

My intention is to update these lists the first of every month.
