I have been around for a long time, and I witnessed the birth of Model Aviation magazine 50 years ago. I can remember that first issue after American Aircraft Modeler ended. It was quite an improvement and was created solely by the AMA. The content has always been a wonderful, super dose of model enthusiasts’ interests and guidance, and keeps you current with the times. The world is transitioning to digital, and Model Aviation will transition right along for another 50 years. Did you know that you can get your digital issue two weeks earlier than print?
Concerning the digital age, last month I promised a new social experience for District IV. We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Facebook Group: AMA District IV (Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, and North Carolina), at www.facebook.com/groups/amadistrictiv.
This group is your new online hangout. It’s a place where our incredible model aviation community can come together like never before! Whether it is the latest event, a place to share your experiences and projects, tips and tricks, airplanes, helicopters, drones, rockets, Free Flight, Control Line (CL), or RC, we want to see it all! We might even share some of your stories in Model Aviation.
Join our group today and be a part of building something amazing, because together, we make model aviation even more fun, inspiring, and unforgettable.
The Northern Virginia CL Association (NVCL) in Lorton, Virginia, held its Annual StuntFest at the end of September 2024. Scott Richlen was the contest director, and Carl Cisneros submitted these pictures.
Eighteen pilots competed in five CL Precision Aerobatics categories. Lunch was provided free to all, which is a tradition at this event. This year will be the 20th Annual StuntFest. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/groups/nvclgroup.
Go fly and have fun safely.
