AMA Sport Aviatior Site.

Don’t know if you have noticed but the AMA site has a new section called “Sport Aviator”. I sent an Email to the editor noting that it does not have anything about CL or Free Flight. Here is the Email string. Don’t know if anyone is interested – I personally don’t have the knowledge or skill but it does seem to be an opportunity.

Cary,

That would be great and hopefully will produce some results. It might be best if you ask them to visit Sport Aviator first so they can see for themselves the detail and depth that Sport Aviator articles have before they volunteer. If they still want to help, please have them contact me.

Thank you for your help.

Frank

Thanks for your response. I don't know anyone personally but I will, with your permission, share your response on a couple of posting boards like Stuka Stunt Works.

Regards,

Cary

Dear Mr. Taylor

Thank you for visiting Sport Aviator On-Line Magazine. We appreciate your comments about the missing facets of model aviation. In fact, we had hoped to include both Free Flight and Control Line in Sport Aviator.

However, despite our best efforts, we have not been able to find a single qualified author willing to spend the time to help new pilots understand and learn about these disciplines. I have contacted many noted C/L and FF pilots and authors, but none were able to help us.

We have also contacted the organizations at the shows and, despite their good intentions, none have been able to help put C/L or FF articles in Sport Aviator. If you know of anyone who is qualified to write introductory articles about these important parts of Model Aviation, please have them contact us.

Thank you again,

Frank Granelli

Hello:
I like your idea of a sport aviator site but am more than a little disturbed that it only addresses RC. I think you should either rename your site to make it clear that it is only for RC or acknowledge the other model aviation efforts such as Free Flight and Control Line to name two.
