Safety at the Flight Site - Click here to read important information to keep in mind as the Flying Season comes into full swing and see some of the things you should take with you each time you go out to the Miller Memorial Flying Site.
Enough Is Enough - Click here to read an editorial by Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association President, Phil Boyer, as he struck a nerve in October 2006 with his online editorial, "Enough is enough." Even though this applies to full-scale, general aviation, we thought it would be of interest to R/C Pilots as well. Boyer took on Chicago Mayor, Richard Daley, as well as other politicians and self-appointed safety "experts" for using the private airplane accident in New York City to call for more restrictions on general aviation.

Choosing the right Color Scheme - Click here to read an article about Color Theory for Model Airplanes that could help you maintain better flight orientation or learn to fly your R/C airplane sooner. With the building season upon us you may want to factor in these suggestions when deciding how you will cover your new creation.
