Basically, this calenda needs to be fed with information. I am working on doing s programtically but much of the information will need to be culled fro the net. For example, if you are an AMA member, they have a hug calendar there with tons of data. In addition, IMAC has a ton o competitive events that should be covered.

*I need a total of 3 volunteers to start * with to be Events Calenda administrators. Again, you should be passionate, be willing to spen some time doing this and want to have fun!

For now, that is the focus in terms of volunteers.

rcFlyzone Links ? this area is a Google-type links directory containing nothing but electric rc airplane web sites, from motor and ESC manufacturers to vendors of all types.

You might want to check how the site looks with browsers other than IE. Firefox for instance - images in the "Inside Rcflyzone" box overlap the edge of the box.

I did notice he said nothing about an AMA forum. That would be a refreshing change to the norm!

True, but they are easily ignored. I can't remember even looking at the one on RCU or RCG, and I know for a fact it's not in my subscription list.

Thanks for the feedback on browser versioning. As one might expect,

have focused predominantly on IE but your point is well taken an appreciated.

As for the AMA stuff - I plan to have quite a bit out there regardin IMAC but am not too keen on the AMA stuff. If you want that, go to th AMA site! I'll just be shaping it as I move forward.

Again, if anyone wants to help run it, I am open and would love th involvement but understand that not everyone has time for it.

Yes, and you said it - a man of few words! :) That was lame...
