Several weeks ago I asked for directions to a web-site where I could find
basic information on electric power (EP) flying. I received a minimum of
responses.

As I was preparing to renew my AMA membership, I received the following
information from the AMA.

There's a FREE web-site by: Model Aviation's 'Sport Aviator' (the e-zine
for the new model pilot) www.masportaviator.com There is never a charge, no
registration, and AMA membership is never required.

They feature:
1) Learn about the newest RTF and ARF basic and advanced trainers.
2) Explore the exciting new world of electric power sport.
3) Looking of that second or third RC airplane.
4) How about basic and advanced aerobatics.
5) Make that perfect landing at Sport Aviator, (it's ALL FREE).

Enjoy!

AH, that's good to know, thanks Earl. Sorry you didn't get much response to
your earlier post.
I can this of two site I use right away
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~atong/

http://www.rcfaq.com/

Was it the matching EP components post? I got some good info from that
post.
You will find out that many compnations of motor, battery and prop will fly
many many planes. I just bought the Formosa glider and I bet I have
something laying around to fly it with!

Earl,

For electric info, try ezonemag.com. I think it is part of
rcgroups.com now. Best electric info out there.

Indeed it is, and there is a total newbie forum also.
